Post-Sim Wrap-Up: Flames thumped by Vegas in Game 4

The Calgary Flames headed into virtual Game 4 looking to take a commanding lead in their simulated first round series with the Vegas Golden Knights.

Nope.

Instead, the Flames were thoroughly out-played by Vegas en route to a 5-1 loss that tied the best-of-seven series at two wins apiece.

The rundown

Vegas got on the board very early, with Alex Tuch redirecting a point shot past David Rittich on the power play to give the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead. They padded their lead before the end of the first period, as Reilly Smith wired a wrister past Rittich with the clock winding down at the end of the period, which made it 2-0 for the home side.
