Flames Scoring Chances – Game 50 versus Nashville

 

 

Flames were mostly the better team tonight, aside from sitting on the lead for the third period. They fell behind on the chance count at ES because of that, but finished in the black overall thanks to their – gasp! – PP. To be fair, the Preds took a bunch of penalties, so Calgary had a lot of tries, but they did manage to actually generate something with the man advantage for a change,

With last change and the Preds lacking a true power verus power option, Iginla’s line faced a mixed bag of opponents tonight, none of them on the level of, say, the Sedins or Kesler in Vancouver. They finished above water by all measures as a result, although marginally. Glencross and Stajan’s numbers are surprisingly bad given the fact I didn’t consider them a weak link while viewing. A lot of the damage must have been done in the third.
