Highlight Of The Night Calgary Flames 1 - Toronto Maple Leafs 2 (OT) It’s a shame the night ended the way it did for Flames defenceman Oliver Kylington because his goal to open the scoring was a thing of beauty.

Matthew Tkachuk earned a nice $5000 fine from the NHL, but not for his barking at an official from a bench that earned him an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty. He's 5k lighter in the wallet for a high stick during the Flames 4-3 OT loss to Dallas on Thursday night. The league levied the highest possible fine for his infraction this afternoon for a stick that got up on John Klingberg. Wonder if the league will act on the TWO high sticks Johnny Gaudreau took on one...
