CAL - Bonehead posts C Gomez is 2nd line C tonight and Markstrom is starting G on the whiteboard before morning practice and there is no griping or grumbling. The team is pretty quiet and concentrated on the task at hand. Coach Pauwelyn points out that Calgary is the highest scoring team in the league at the moment.

The first period is even but for the shots which favor Calgary 12 - 9. LW Fleischmann left the game after taking a shot off his body and he went directly to the dressing room. There has been no report from the training staff yet. Bonehead has seen no signs of the turnovers or unforced errors that plagued the team last night. Bonehead tells the team to rest up and keep playing hard and leaves the rest to his assistants.

The second period sees some adjustments to a three line system for the Panthers and Calgary scores twice against one for the Panthers. Second period shots are nearly even 10 - 11 with the Flames holding the overall advantage 23 - 19.

The Panthers open up on the Flames and quickly score four times in the first half and suddenly its a whole different game! Lines are switched up, players are mixing and matching and the Flames suddenly cannot perform like they did in the first two periods. The shots are even at 32 at the end of the game and the team celebrates around their goalie Markstrom.
Bonehead is talking to Coach Ramsay about LW Fleischmann's injury and he has been sent to the local hospital for x-rays on his leg. Bonehead lets the team have the moment and heads back out to the ice rink to think...
