Post-Game Wrap-Up: Flames embrace the ‘schedule win’ against Ottawa
The Calgary Flames returned home on Saturday evening for their first home date since their exhausting four game road trip. They weren’t amazing, but they never trailed en route to a 3-1 victory against a scrappy Ottawa Senators club.
The Rundown
The Flames played their best first period in recent memory. They didn’t blow the doors off of Ottawa and they were prone to a few own-zone turnovers, but they otherwise managed the puck intelligently and did their best to generate scoring chances. They even had sustained pressure on Ottawa for two full minutes, though they didn’t score.
