It really was a perfect turnaround sequence:
a. Big and unnecessary hit that is maybe dirty that makes the Flames mad.
b. Sets up fight that excites the bench.
c. Top 4 defenceman goes off in exchange for a guy on the third line.
d. Period break for Peters to make adjustments, and fire up the room.
e. Power play goal for the Flames in the very early third, putting the game within reach.
Heck, the hit even put Monahan on the fourth line for a goal due to the requirement to rotate the forwards around to make up for Bennett and Jankowski being unavailable.
