The Calgary Flames scored early and often on Friday night against the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately, the Bruins woke up after the initial barrage and the Flames couldn’t answer back. The Flames lost 4-3 to close out their homestand.

The home side hit the scoresheet early. 20 seconds in, a pair of shots missed the Bruins net. But the second rebound bounced to Mikael Backlund for a tap-in past Jaroslav Halak to give the Flames an early 1-0 lead.
Just over two minutes later the Flames extended their lead to two. The Bruins turned over the puck in the neutral zone.
