Calgary Flames (2-3-1, 5 pts) - Montreal Canadiens (5-0-2, 12 pts)
It’s no secret that the Flames aren’t exactly a team that comes flying out of the gate to start their games. While they did play fairly “fast” for a little less than half of the first period on Thursday (can’t believe that’s an actual benchmark these days), the Flames still found themselves in a 2-0 hole after 20 minutes. And despite what the final score said, they never recovered or were even close to being in that game.
