CALGARY, Alberta – The big boys of Alberta were quite rude to the Penguins.
The Penguins over the last decade have typically fared well on their annual swing through Western Canada. But this year, they got it handed to them by the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers, two of the top teams in the Western Conference.
On Tuesday night, they lost the second half of their Alberta back-to-back to the Flames, who jumped on the Penguins early and cruised to a 4-1 victory at Scotiabank Saddledome. Nazem Kadri led the way for the Flames with a three-point effort.
