| The last second heartbreaker loss to the Rangers hurts but at least the extra point went to an Eastern Conference team. The Flames will bounce back by shelling a shaken confidence Rinne tonight. Jokinen will get back on the scoresheet after last game where he was blanked for the first time this year. 3-1 Flames – Jokinen, Iginla & Bourque |
