The Calgary Flames wore their sweet Heritage Classic retro jerseys on Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens. While the Flames looked snazzy, their defensive performance was lacking. They gave up many, many good chances en route to a 4-3 overtime loss to the Habs.
The Rundown
The Flames opened the scoring about midway through the first period. Andrew Mangiapane made a heads up play, knocking down an errant Habs clearing pass and heading to the net. A Montreal player blocked his attempted shot, but it was collected by Elias Lindholm, whose shuffle pass to Matthew Tkachuk was put past Carey Price to make it 1-0 Flames.
