I wouldn't say they had poor goaltending last night. It's more that they were poor defensively in the second half of the game, especially with the Tanev and Kylington pairing. The 3rd pairing was fine in getting pucks out of the zone where the other 2 pairings were mostly scrambling in their own ends having to deal with bad turnovers. You can blame it on goaltending all you want, the defensive effort just wasn't there last night. Hopefully, the Flames will have a better defensive effort tomorrow against Tampa.
