The Calgary Flames managed to squeak out a win against the talented St.Louis Blues last night, by a score of 3-2. Radek Dvorak started off the scoring half way through the first period with his 7th goal of the year. It wasn't till the 5:57 mark of the 2nd period that the Flames got on the board. Veteran Darryl Sydor notched his 4th of the year. Then amazingly enough, just 6 seconds later, Sydor scored again, this one of the penalty kill. Morrow of the Blues tied the game with near the end of the 2nd frame to even things out at two apiece. The 3rd period magic of the Flames continued, as Erik Cole scored a buck twenty-three in to win it. Backstrom played well for Calgary, recording 40 saves, while allowing just the two goals.
This is the second win in as many games vs. the Blues, both games decided by just one goal. Mark Bell has 4 points in his last 4 games played. Calgary continues its home stand, welcoming the Pittsburgh Penguins into town for the first time in... well... probably a really long time.
Game Prediction: 5-1 Calgary
