It was a better start for sure, but that third period wasn't pretty. Especially for a team as rested as the Flames.
Maybe I need to look at OT again. Turnovers are going to happen but I didn't think that cutting toward the center of the ice was a smart play for Kadri, that was going into trouble vs. skating away from it and creating the 2 on 1.
After he turns it over, he ends up floating off to the side of the net and has no impact on the play. Eberle trails and no one picks him up. The whole sequence just wasn't very good awareness from him.
