Oilers dismantle Flames in Calgary
Written by on February 22nd, 2012 in Latest News.
Sam Gagner scored once and added two assists Tuesday as the Edmonton Oilers erupted for four unanswered goals in the second period to stun the Calgary Flames 6-1.
Jordan Eberle, Ryan Smyth, Taylor Hall, Ales Hemsky and Eric Belanger had the other goals for Edmonton (23-30-6).
Scott Hannan, with his second of the season and first in 52 games, had the only goal as Calgary (28-23-10) lost in regulation for the first time since Jan. 31.
Going into the game, all signs pointed to the Flames having a giant edge in the battle between the provincial rivals.
Calgary entered with 5-0-3 record in February, had won 10 straight at home against the Oilers and had beaten Edmonton in 16 of the last 17 meetings.
Meanwhile, Edmonton had won just once of its last six outings and just one of its previous nine games on the road.
