“We’ve got to realize coming in here, that even though we just beat them a couple days ago, and beat Columbus, we’ve got to stay pretty even-keel,” said Tkachuk following a 5-1 loss in his hometown of St. Louis that served as a measure of payback for the 7-1 loss suffered in Calgary Monday.
Tkachuk and his top line were as guilty as anyone for not executing, with his trio being held off the scoresheet for the first time in seven outings.and Elias Lindholm all season long to carry the offence. One night after setting a franchise record with 62 shots on goal against Columbus, the Flames only sent 29 pucks Ville Husso’s way. Only three came from the top trio.“I think there’s a little bit of fatigue the other night, similar to the game we just played them in Calgary,” said coach Darryl Sutter.
With his former club from Vancouver visiting Saturday, will we see Markstrom make four starts in six nights? By far the Flames’ most effective player all night long on Thursday, Backlund tied the game 1-1 midway through the first period when he took an Andrew Mangiapane pass at the side of the net and fired it past Ville Husso from a sharp angle.
EricFrancis 4 games in 3 nights and not using the back up played a bigger factor in this game then anything else.
