Pretty good game by the Flames overall. We all know that 2 goal leads going into the third period are precarious and they managed to keep Detroit to the outside for the most part. Big credit to Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk who went out after Detroit's 2nd goal and hemmed the Red Wings in their zone for a minute or so.
Ridiculous that the Wings didn't get a high sticking penalty when Rittich's helmet was knocked near the end there. If that hits a players visor then chances are it would have been called, but it took the helmet right off. Great save by Rittich on that 2 on 1 in the third period. Nice to see him back in road form.
They didn't fall into the trap, now it's time to get a bit of revenge on the Bruins and take two points out of the Garden.
