Hamilton’s two goals, Jagr’s 1st point with Calgary leads Flames over Canucks
VANCOUVER — The message to the Calgary Flames after Friday’s drubbing at the hands of the Ottawa Senators was simple — stay out of the penalty box.
They didn’t heed the message, but managed to survive this time around against a feeble Vancouver Canucks power play.
Dougie Hamilton had two goals and Jaromir Jagr recorded his first point for Calgary as the Flames defeated the Canucks 5-2 on Saturday night despite having to kill off five penalties in the opening 20 minutes.
“Our penalty killers, they did a good job, but we got lucky,” said Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan. “You can’t do that. We’re dodging bullets here and we’ve got to get that cleaned up.”
