Morning Coffee: Canucks end Flames’ streak

If you bet on the Calgary Flames to win on any night in the entire month of February prior to Thursday’s game, you made money.

If you jumped on the Flames train last night against the Vancouver Canucks, you didn’t even get much of a chance to jump off before it was headed in the wrong direction.

With Vancouver leading 1-0 midway through the second period, J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat scored two goals in a 32-second span.

Horvat and Miller doubled down again in the final 1:18 of the second to make it a 5-0 game as the Canucks cruised to a 7-1 win to snap Calgary’s 10-game win streak.

It was quite the off night for a Flames’ team that had outscored its opponents a combined 43-14 over the streak.

It wasn’t the only surprise in the NHL on Thursday night.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Friday Feb. 25, 2022.

Miller, Horvat and Elias Pettersson scored two goals each, combining for nine points in the 7-1 win.

Vancouver has now scored four goals or more in four straight games, going 3-1 straight up over that span.

Meanwhile, last night’s loss marked the first time that the Flames have allowed more than two goals in a game since a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 27.
