[Game Takes] Flames 3 Devils 2

[Bingo]

Flames 3 Devils 2

- Solid two periods followed by a shaky third
- Monahan scores two
- Gaudreau puts on a show at home
- Rittich continues to prove he's the deal

Have to give it Dave Cameron and the Flames powerplay for finding a way to achieve success with the man advantage; don’t ice it!

It's funny cause it's true!

[Gord Wappel]

It seems so unusual to see a flames team with a much better road record than at home. Any takes on what the high level reason is ? pure chance on small sample size or a real change of approach home/away ?

in all seriousness they actually play better at home.

All situations ...

CF%
Home 53%
Road 50%

Shots
Home 52%
Road 48%

Scoring Chances
Home 55%
Road 50%

But special teams ...

Home PK 78.6%
Road PK 82.1%

Home PP 14.3%
Road PP 22.7%

Goaltending ...

Home 90.7%
Road 92.5%

Shooting %

Home 8.2%
Road 9.2%

Better goaltending, special teams and luck on the road.

Maybe it is time to start Rittich more at home.

[Finger Cookin]

It'll be interesting to see if Versteeg can gel with Bennett and Jankowski when he's back.

[Enoch Root]

They play a simpler game on the road. And they go to the net more, instead of trying to make the extra pass and the pretty play.
