Johnny with the hat trick and Backlund with a good goal. The Flames have the top good players and can get it done.
Shots on goal were pretty even 32-31 in favor of the Flames, otherwise all other stats were quite even other than the special teams as the Flames capitalized on 5 pp chances with a goal. So that was probably the difference in the game,TB playing shorthanded, Flames forced them into penalties.
Good defining win!

Flames only had two power plays until the last 3 minutes, so the game was pretty much 5 on 5.
