The Flames have already contested 24 games decided by one goal this campaign.
For anyone trying to figure out the 2022-23 Flames’ identity, you could do a lot worse than to suggest that their season might be defined by how they survive and thrive in games where the margins are so thin.
“We struggled with that early on, but it just took a while to get comfortable with and as you guys said, lately we’ve been better and we look to get better in the future,” said Flames forward Nazem Kadri. “Down the stretch, for a playoff spot and into the playoffs, those one-goal games and being comfortable in those situations is a big-time key.”Article content
“I don’t know if there really is a magic number, I just think obviously we’ve been in a lot of tight games and I think it’s going to pay dividends towards the end,” Kadri said. “I think that’s great experience for our group and just being able to stay calm and composed in those tight, tense situations. I think it’s a positive thing. At the end of the day, we’ve got to find a way to win those games, but more often than not we’re capable of doing that.
