It was a happy hockey matinee for Calgary Saturday as the Flames defeated Tampa Bay 6-3 in a rare afternoon game at the Saddledome.
Down 2-1 in the second period, Tampa Bay got goals 48 seconds apart from Stamkos and Namestikov for its first lead. But it was short-lived.
The misfortune would continue for Tampa Bay's all-star defenceman. Five minutes later Calgary went ahead 3-2 when Andersson's slapshot from the point deflected off Hedman in front and past Vasilevskiy. The Lightning cut the deficit to 4-3 on Cirelli's goal with the goalie pulled at 15:58. But the Flames cemented the victory scoring twice into an empty net.The Flames were full marks for a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes, outshooting the Lightning 15-4 in the opening period.
Noah Hanifin's turnover went right to Stamkos at the faceoff circle and he leaned into a slapshot under the crossbar. That extended Stamkos' point streak to eight games .
