As per tradition, the Calgary Flames dressed a largely NHL-ready roster for the Calgary half of their split squad series with the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks sent their odds and sods to the Scotiabank Saddledome. Somehow, the game went to overtime, and the Flames lost by a 3-2 score.
The rundown
The locals were sharp early. They had the first 14 shots of the hockey game. Midway through the first period, they scored on what was a fairly innocuous shot. Collecting a TJ Brodie dump-in, Johnny Gaudreau beat a Canucks defender to the puck and chucked it on net.
