The Calgary Flames came into Vancouver on Saturday needing a good showing to build some confidence and needing two points to stay in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race. Mission accomplished. The Flames dug in and battled for three periods en route to an impressive 6-2 win over the Pacific-leading Canucks to kick off a four game road trip.
The Rundown
The Canucks got on the board first, and early. Like, first shot in the first minute of the game, early. Tanner Pearson took a feed from Quinn Hughes and his shot from the high slot found its way through traffic and made it 1-0 Canucks.
