Tough loss last night all things considered. Would've been nice to finally beat the Knights in their own barn, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.
3rd periods also continue to be a problem for this team whether closing games out or trying to come back. The Flames are still the only team without a 3rd period comeback win and they've went from 4th in the NHL (last year) in win% leading after 2 compared to this season where they sit 23rd.
It's definitely a big change from last season where the team looked elite at closing out games vs this season where they sit in the bottom 10. Haven't looked into it too closely, but despite having the same coach & strategy, for whatever reason, this team has definitely struggled to hold on to leads this season. Very disappointing for a veteran laden line up.
