The Calgary Flames lost their last game of the regular season, dropping a 3-1 decision to the Edmonton Oilers. What was otherwise an unimpressive game was marred by an injury to Oilers captain Connor McDavid.
The Rundown
The Flames had some decent looks in the first half of the opening period, but the Oilers opened the scoring. The defense coughed up the puck in their own end and after a couple quick passes, Leon Draisaitl’s wrist shot from the faceoff dot found a way through Mike Smith to make it 1-0 Oilers.
But the locals tied things up late in the period.
