If Thursday’s game against the Minnesota Wild was one folks were liable to skip, Saturday’s game between the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers was one everyone had circled on their calendars. Well, this one lived up to the hype. The Flames and Oilers went toe to toe for three gripping periods, with the Flames skating away with a 4-3 home victory.

The Flames opened the scoring four minutes into the opening period off a nice transition play started in the Flames end by Matthew Tkachuk. Tkachuk, Andrew Mangiapane and Elias Lindholm rushed off the ice.
