November 25th – CGY @ BOS
The Calgary Flames beat the Boston Bruins by a score of 2-1 on November 25th. The Flames did only have one power-play opportunity all game, however they went 0/1 on the PP. The Bruins do fairly well on the PK, they’re 86.4% right now, which is third in the league. The Bruins, however, had four PP opportunities. And good thing they don’t do well on those either, like the Flames, because the Flames managed to kill all of them off.
The Bruins also had 36 SOG that night, so again, thank goodness for the Flames savior that is Chad Johnson.

The Flames got up 2-1 in the third period, however the Bruins did have a PP after that when they were down 2-1. They could have taken advantage and scored a PPG then when they really needed it and it could have gone to OT. The Flames could have won in OT, but they could also have a point less than they do right now.
This game had quite a bit of anger between the two teams. Looked a bit like a repeat of last year, except Gaudreau didn’t play from injury, so he couldn’t play against his BFF Brad Marchand (That’s sarcasm).
Since these two teams seem to get pretty heated, their second meeting later this season should be fun.
