Highlight Of The Night Calgary Flames 5 - Chicago Blackhawks 2 Another night, another 4+ goals for the Calgary Flames!

Calgary would score two more times (Trevor Lewis and Johnny...

HOTN: Noah Hanifin Scores On Pretty Set Play
Photo by Rich Gagnon/ Boston born and bred Noah Hanifin helps sink the Boston Bruins. Highlight Of The Night Calgary Flames 4 - Boston Bruins 0 It’s not often the Flames have multiple HOTN opportunities when playing the Bruins, but that was just the case tonight. With that said, home town boy Noah Hanifin takes home the award tonight for his pretty goal off a face off that put the Flames up 2-0. Calgary would win a face off, send the puck to Rasmus Andersson who then got the puck to Matthew Tkachuk. Tkachuk would rifle a puck off the end boards that bounced...

HOTN: Matthew Tkachuk & Johnny Gaudreau Put This One Away Early
Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports Two of the Flames top line were cruising last night in Buffalo.

HOTN: Matthew Tkachuk Makes The Senators Pay
Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via Ottawa Took A Penalty and Matthew Tkachuk put the puck in the net. Highlight Of The Night Calgary Flames 4 - Ottawa Senators 0 The Flames took care of business in Ottawa this afternoon, blanking the Senators 4-0. This was a BADLY needed win as the Flames had been having a tough go of it lately. Yeah, it’s the Senators and they were down 12 players due to Covid and injuries, but you still have to play AND beat who’s on the ice in front of you. They did not do that against San Jose and it looks as if they learned...

Matthew Tkachuk Fined For High Stick
Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports Tkachuk's stick, not his mouth got him in trouble with the league. 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...
