Calgary started strong with goals from Matt Coronato, Nazem Kadri, and Ryan Lomberg, who netted his first of the season, establishing a 3-1 lead after two periods of play. However, this game marked a significant turning point for the Flames as they became the first team in the NHL this season to lose after leading by two goals going into the final period. Earlier, Calgary had boasted a perfect record when ahead after two frames, going 7-0-0. Elias Lindholm, a former member of the Flames and now with the Bruins, had a notable performance, contributing one goal and one assist.
