At 01:22 of the first period Lindholm lays a huge check in the offensive zone, and it looks right from the start that the top line was going to start the cycle, and then for some reason the officials stop play, and settle into a scrum.
It really felt to me that this one weird moment messed up Calgary's timing, and it took the rest of the period for them to get back into the flow and re-establish the game-pace. I wonder, were it not for that odd stoppage, would Calgary have had a better start in the period? It sure feels like a key moment in hindsight.

The puck was shot out of play...they scrummed to decide if it was deflected or shot straight out...they decided it was touched so no delay of game penalty was assessed.
