It is interesting that the Flames are winning in spite of a handful of players being snakebitten. Zary looks like he should have had 2 goals a game for the last handful of games. Kuznetsov keeps getting close.
Who had: "Flames really solid defensively" as a theme this season? Both goalies being very good?
Huska has this team playing very well to their strengths and doing a heck of a job covering up their weaknesses.
Wolf was EXCELLENT tonight. I think you can make the argument that you keep him for the third game in a row on Thursday. I mentioned in the GDT that Huska has been really deploying the goalies very well with all needs being served, and that he should only deviate from it when goalies exceed the high water mark of a shut-out or 'stealing a game' - I think Wolf stole this one tonight (though Varlamov made a couple of steal-worth saves as well).
Entertaining and intense game even if it was another low-scoring affair.
