The Calgary Flames scored first and never trailed, but they didn’t have an easy night against the Buffalo Sabres. Instead, Thursday’s visit to Buffalo saw the Flames take the lead and then relinquish it three times before holding on for a 4-3 victory.
On Thursday night’s edition of the FlamesNation After Burner, our pals Ryan Pinder and Rhett Warrener chop it up and break down the game’s result.
