“The implications of the game were big for this period of time right now,” said Flames interim head coach Geoff Ward. And, of course, plenty of bulletin board material for the next Battle of Alberta on Jan. 29 at Edmonton’s Rogers Place. The 22-year-old Flames winger had Zack Kassian blind with rage at the end of the second period after he sent the Oilers forward into the boards.

The Flames won their second straight game against the Oilers after a 5-1 victory on Dec. 27 at Rogers Place.
