The Calgary Flames played pretty well for big stretches of Monday night’s game with the Toronto Maple Leafs. They certainly weren’t blown out or embarrassed. But as has become customary, the Flames made key errors at key times leading to great scoring chances and their goaltending couldn’t bail them out. The Flames lost 5-3 to the Leafs, who scored three times in the third period.
The rundown
The Flames played a pretty decent first period, with the fourth line looking good and nearly scoring. They got a puck past Jack Campbell, but Travis Dermott stopped the puck on the goal line.
