The Calgary Flames had a decent start to their Saturday afternoon date with the Arizona Coyotes. Unfortunately key gaffes in the second period came back to haunt them and they skated to a disappointing 3-0 loss to the Coyotes.
The Rundown
Neither team scored in the first period, though the Flames pressed hard and largely carried play. Shots were 11-8 Flames and scoring chances were 6-3 Flames.
In the middle frame, the Coyotes made adjustments and seemed content to counter-punch and wait for the Flames to make mistakes. A pair of mistakes gave the home side a pair of goals.
