The Calgary Flames went into Vancouver with an opportunity to move a step closer to a division title. They were full marks in a 3-1 victory over the Canucks at Rogers Arena.
The Rundown
The opening period was played with great pace and very few whistles. The Flames opened the scoring off some nice back-checking and a heck of a pass. The fourth line lost a face-off, but they retrieved the puck before it could leave the zone. Derek Ryan drove the net, then passed to a driving Mark Giordano for a redirect past Jacob Markstrom to make it a 1-0 Flames lead.
