The virtual Calgary Flames headed to Las Vegas on Sunday night for Game 3 of the simulated first round series with the Vegas Golden Knights. For the first time, the house didn’t win: the Flames were full marks en route to a 4-2 victory. They lead the best-of-seven series 2-1.
The rundown
The Flames got an early lead after Sean Monahan redirected a slick pass from Elias Lindholm off the rush after the opening draw to go up 1-0. But Vegas tied things up before the end of the period, as Paul Stastny took advantage of a rebound on a Golden Knights power play to tie things up at 1-1.
