The Calgary Flames’ four-game road trip continued and saw them to the east to face off against the Philadelphia Flyers in a Saturday morning matchup.
Notes and discussion from the charts are all below, read on to see it all!
Game events
- The Flyers dominated the shots, but the Jacob Markstrom show took over Saturday morning television.
- This was a penalty-laden game, which wasn’t really the expectation for two teams who face each other just twice a year.
Goals
| Goal | Assists | Time | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Huberdeau | Nazem Kadri, Martin Pospisil | 1:55 | 2nd | CGY 1 – 0 PHI |
| Morgan Frost | Sean Walker, Tyson Foerster | 4:15 | 2nd | CGY 1 – 1 PHI |
| MacKenzie Weegar | Blake Coleman, Andrew Mangiapane | 9:13 | 2nd | CGY 2 – 1 PHI |
| Sean Couturier (PPG) | Morgan Frost, Egor Zamula | 16:06 | 2nd | CGY 2 – 2 PHI |
| Travis Konecny (SHG) | Scott Laughton, Cam York | 2:27 | 3rd | CGY 2 – 3 PHI |
- Jonathan Huberdeau is heating up. His effort for the goal was in a word: disgusting.
- The Flames’ special teams let them down a bit here as they couldn’t convert on their three power plays, but ceded a power play and game-winning shorthanded goal against.

All situations Corsi
- The Flyers were really the better team with regard to sustained shot pressure. It was too early for Calgary and the morning breakfast wasn’t fully digested.
- The Flames had a couple of stretches without shots, while the Flyers nearly finished with 1.5 shot attempts a minute.
- The Flames had a fairly random spread of shots. A more focused effort toward higher efficiency shots would do them well in getting more goals when they need them.
- The Flyers were all over the place and even got a goal from behind the goalline with Sean Couturier bouncing it off of Markstrom for a goal.
5v5 Corsi
- The game had a lot of penalties, but still a lot of shot attempts overall at 5v5.
- Both of Calgary’s goals came at 5v5. Their power play didn’t score and their high-efficiency penalty kill couldn’t score on their six kills either.
- The Flames barely got any good shots off at 5v5, but their goals did come from a Huberdeau breakaway from in close as well as a good effort from MacKenzie Weegar to go deep on the cycle.
