I think splitting points was an accurate outcome of the general run of play all night.
Flames simply cannot get behind almost every night; tonight they battled back each time but often games, under Ward, they’ve not come all the way back, especially in the third.
And further to that, Rittich has to stop letting multiple below average goals in which get the team behind; this is 3 games in a row that’s occurred. Changes the mentality of an always fragile team while giving the opponent the all important momentum.
