The Calgary Flames beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 and registered their first three-game win streak this season.
Here are the takeaways:
Dominant even-strength performanceWant to know how big this game was for Calgary?

Getting rewarded with four goals was only fitting.
Special TeamsWith that decrease in even-strength time comes an increase in the time in power play and penalty-kill situations.
Unfortunately, this is the most the Flames have spent in time on the ice in the power play (8:00) and come away with single digit total shots on the man-advantage (8).
They were 13-for-13 on the penalty-kill but unfortunately that streak ended on Sunday evening thanks to Quinn Hughes. They did end up going 3-for-4.
