The Calgary Flames have not been playing amazingly well lately. Perhaps some may have hoped that a trip to Las Vegas to play the National Hockey League’s best home team would bring out the best in a group that has been superb on the road. Well, that didn’t happen. On a night when the hockey world was focused on the Winter Olympics and the women’s hockey gold medal game, the Flames were soundly defeated by the Vegas Golden Knights by a 7-3 score.
In a stretch of several contests that can be described as “measuring stick games,” the Flames keep coming up short.
