Rookie Post-Game: Young Flames grind out a win against Edmonton
The Calgary Flames rookies hosted the Edmonton Oilers rookies on Monday night in a rematch of their prospects clash from Saturday night. And like Saturday night in Edmonton, their outing at the Saddledome was even, and occasionally sloppy. The Flames grinded out a 4-1 victory.
The rundown
The opening period featured a bevvy of Flames penalties and a couple goals, one for each side.
Edmonton got on the board first on a two-man advantage – the Flames had Cameron Whynot and Martin Pospisil in the box. With all that time and space, Raphael Lavoie buried a feed from Xavier Bourgault to give Edmonton a 1-0 lead.
