Thats how many games in a row where the Flames have been badly outshot/outplayed in the first period? The team is making Markstrom do all the work. Luckily they managed to get a few wins that way but it can't last. If they'd been facing better teams there could've been a few bad loses in a row. Still a lot of concerns with this team, and it seems they can't match the intensity of a desperate team. If that doesn't change the playoffs will be short yet again.
