Calgary played the last four games away from home. First, the Flames defeated Los Angeles (3:2), and goalie Markström deserved high praise for saving 95% of the shots. Then Calgary beat Anaheim in the shootout (4:3).
But the Flames failed to build on this success and in the following match suffered a defeat to Vegas (2:3). After that, they lost to San Jose with a score of 3:5. The Flames' goalie Vladar had a terrible game against the Sharks.
