[GDT] Flames vs Wild - Wednesday Feb 4 @ 5:00pm (MST)

[Drury18]

Iowa's extended PP is over!

[Drury18]

Poirier and Agostino working some magic in front of the net and it's a swing and a miss.

Reinhart sets up Poirier and again, it goes high.

Flames going hard to the Wild net.

[Drury18]

Phillips hooks Tousi and he's going off.

Flames to the PP.

[Drury18]

Agostino and Poirier just can't get a finish. Creating some nice plays, but there's no finish.

[Drury18]

PP is over. There was a little more life this time, but no really great chances.

[Drury18]

McGrattan comes down on the boards and Kuemper comes out to cut down the angle. Nice play by Grats there.

[Drury18]

This shows you how bad things are going: Poirier takes an offside pass because he was too slow to control the puck.

Too slow. Poirier.

[Drury18]

Gillies and McGrattan with a give and go passing play to almost create a good scoring play.

[Drury18]

Also PMM, attendance tonight is 2,456

[Drury18]

Flames with only 4 SOG in the 2nd period and currently with 4 in the 3rd.

The offense just dried up. Came out hot in the 1st with 16 and it just fizzled right out.

Wild have played a great game. They don't look like they lost their last 6 games.

[Drury18]

Whoa, Flames woke up. Well Elson did. Elson with a great chance and shot on Kuemper, then backchecks his butt off to save a chance in his own end.

[Drury18]

There's something I never thought I'd see.
