Flames Seek Third Straight Win Against Blackhawks
The Calgary Flames are riding high after their recent victories and aim to continue their momentum as they host the Chicago Blackhawks at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
Recent Performance and Team Spirit
The atmosphere was electric following Nazem Kadri's celebrated performance two nights ago in Calgary's impressive 5-1 win over Columbus. The Flames have now secured two consecutive wins, outscoring their rivals 10-2 in the last 120 minutes at home.
Coach Ryan Huska’s Insights
"They’re starting to do some things that are more indicative of a winning team. I still think we have a ways to go, but that’s a few areas, for sure, a huge step in the right direction. You give yourself a chance to win games when you’re disciplined like that."
Huska believes the team is showing promising signs reminiscent of the form that nearly took them to the playoffs last spring.
Offensive Growth and Home Advantage
The Flames, who struggled early in the season to score, are now seeing noticeable improvement, especially on their home ice. The offense is becoming more distributed, with eight different players contributing to the last 12 goals scored at the 'Dome.
- Blake Coleman leads with three goals.
- Nazem Kadri and Adam Klapka have each scored twice.
This spread in scoring highlights the team’s balanced attack and growing confidence.
Summary
The Flames are building solid momentum with stronger team discipline and diversified scoring as they prepare to face the Blackhawks at home.
