The Flames got themselves another step closer to clinching the Pacific Division title with a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks Monday night. Calgary is now within 1.5 of taking the division and can add that accomplishment to their list this season by Thursday at the earliest.
Calgary opened the scoring with back to back markers from Dillon Dube and Johnny Gaudreau a mere 6:23 into the contest. Chicago would battle back with two of their own, but the Flames wouldn’t let Chicago any closer and would put this one away with two empty net goals in the final two minutes of this one to secure their 47th victory on the season.
