The Calgary Flames came home hoping for a respite from their losing skid. They didn’t get one, as they lost 3-2 to the Colorado Avalanche to stretch their winless streak to five games and slip below the .500 mark.
The Rundown
The Flames had some jump early, but so did the Avalanche. Three minutes into the game, the visitors struck. Nathan MacKinnon entered the Flames zone, drawing the defenders to him. Andre Burakovsky snuck into the zone as the trailer and opened himself up for a pass with a burst of speed. One nice MacKinnon pass later, Burakovsky shelved a wrist shot over David Rittich to give Colorado a 1-0 advantage.
