They owned the puck with a 56.66% coursey percentage, and dominated high danger chances at 55.63, showing real grit. Through the first two periods, this Flames squad is clicking with a post-deadline offensive push. Getting aggressive in the middle at 5 on 5, and scoring more than two goals. Way more often now. Coach Huska gets props for tweaking the system to fit the roster, turning things around down the stretch. Even after losing their top defenseman early, newcomers Oli Mietta and Zach Whitecloud stepped up big, driving plays and transition passes that kept. Dallas on their heels. Fourth liner, Adam Clapka, lit it up at 85.82, proving his size, speed, and smarts belong in the NHL.
