The Sabres earned a commanding 58-40 lead in 5-on-5 shot attempts and drew seven minor penalties, the first of which saw Jonathan Huberdeau open the scoring on a shorthanded breakaway. Rasmus Dahlin had attempted to break up a clearing attempt, but the puck banked off his stick and toward Huberdeau as he exited the Calgary zone.

For the Flames, fresh off a four-game road trip, this is a brief pit stop at home before they once again pack their suitcases for a weekend back-to-back in Minnesota and Winnipeg.
