Well that wasn’t a surprising result at all, pretty much on brand based on what we’ve seen from them this entire season. Another dominating night from the Backlund line and an uneven night from all the others.
Lindholm’s line didn’t kill plays very well and were saved by that disallowed goal. Kadri’s line was awful and he personally played probably one of the worst games of his season. Although, Huberdeau had himself a really good 3rd period. Sweet shot from Walker Duehr though, he’s actually one of the few Flames who can score from distance.
Ugly overtime though. The Coyotes controlled most of the overtime playing it safe and waiting for just one slip up. Pelletier definitely looked inexperienced on that play overcommitting to Kadri’s man there. He’ll learn from that though.
