Calgary Flames left wing Joel Farabee (86) celebrates his goal against the Vancouver Canucks during the second period of their game at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC (Source: Simon Fearn-Imagn Images)The Calgary Flames beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 and registered their first three-game win streak this season.
Here are the takeaways:
Dominant even-strength performance
Want to know how big this game was for Calgary?
The time on ice in even-strength situation (45:25) was the sixth-lowest, yet the Flames put up the seventh-most high-danger scoring chances (10) in this game out of all their 23 contests this season.
Getting rewarded with four goals was only fitting.
Special Teams
With that decrease in even-strength time comes an increase in the time in power play and penalty-kill situations.
Unfortunately, this is the most the Flames have spent in time on the ice in the power play (8:00) and come away with single digit total shots on the man-advantage (8).
They were 13-for-13 on the penalty-kill but unfortunately that streak ended on Sunday evening thanks to Quinn Hughes. They did end up going 3-for-4.
And, hey? At least they got a short-handed goal...
Dustin Wolf
He needed his redemption game and he got it. With 28 saves off 30 shots, he registered a save percentage of 0.933. An excellent night.
Bottom Line
A three-game win streak is outstanding and Calgary has been on a roll.
They need to continue this as they head on a tough four-game road schedule.
