Lucic had another strong effort. Other players that impressed were Tkachuk, Ryan, Dube, Kylington, Lindholm, Mangiapane, Hanifin, and of course, Talbot.
Funny how after a good game by Gaudreau and Monahan yesterday what I thought was a weaker game by them ends up with the pair combining on the game winning goal. Backlund really needs to get himself figured out man. He has not been good. Gaudreau and Monahan both played relatively well in the o-zone today and generated chance but Backlund does not work with them.
Jankowski was ok, as was Bennett. I'd prefer Rieder over Rinaldo on the 4th line at this point but what can you do.
Overall I think the Flames win streak has been alright while this last game is one we should not expect to win, since Talbot or Rittich won't preform as well as tonight all the time.
