Flames want less penalties, more 5-on-5 against Ducks in Game 2
ANAHEIM, Calif. — It was all about the numbers for Calgary in its Game 1 loss to Anaheim.
When the Flames were at even strength or on the power play, they outscored Anaheim by two goals. When they were killing penalties, or gave the Ducks a 3-on-0 break because of a monumentally mistimed line change, they were outscored by three.
Not surprisingly, keeping the numbers in its favour is Calgary’s top priority headed into Game 2 on Saturday night.
“The stuff we did in their end, holding pucks, making plays, I think we were good 5-on-5 and we got to continue to build with that,” Flames centre Sean Monahan said.
