Flames lose 4-2 to Avalanche, struggle offensively
The Calgary Flames lost 4-2 to the Colorado Avalanche, marking their second straight defeat. Despite the loss, they remain in the second wildcard spot but have lost their game-in-hand over the Vancouver Canucks. Calgary struggled offensively, scoring below their average of 2.55 goals per game. They managed only ten shots in the first two periods, with a late surge not enough to change the outcome. Dustin Wolf, the Flames' goalie, made 24 saves but received little support from his team. The Flames' scoring issues highlight their challenges compared to top teams in the Western Conference.
