Rittich lost his net on goals 2 and 3.
Flames overall played well in the 1st IMO despite the goals against, were flat in the 2nd, and were pretty great in the 3rd.
Monahan was fantastic, Tkachuk obviously got both goals and was involved positively again, but while Gaudreau got the assist to extend his streak I thought this was maybe his quietest game. Almost every pass he tried seemed to be in skates, or turned over.
That all being said, if Dube could have finished the breakaway or the earlier Grade A chance, or Ryan on his breakaway off the nice passing by Nordstrom and Lucic, or Johnny in the dying seconds...
Ah well.
Do we see Brossoit vs Markstrom Thursday?
