Typically, when you hold the puck more then the opposition, you’re going to get more chances to score. That is why having the puck is important. Having the puck less then the opponent is never a recipe for success. Like I said, the flames played poorly. They had a few more breakdowns then what is typical for them. But even so, a fairly evenly played game. I certainly didn’t feel as though Markstrom had to stand on his head or anything.
