The Calgary Flames were in a crazy high-scoring game on Tuesday night in Columbus. They returned home on Thursday night for a much less crazy, more defensive, game against the Minnesota Wild. They beat the Wild by a 2-0 score.
The Rundown
The Flames carried play for a good chunk of the first period, but simply couldn’t get a shot past Alex Stalock. They did midway through the period, as Johnny Gaudreau seemingly held the puck in at the blueline while skating around the perimeter of the zone. He ended up with a pass from below the red line to Elias Lindholm, who beat Stalock with a one-timer.
