GDT: Calgary @ Toronto - Oct 15th

[langway05]

:flames: @ :leafs: Preview

FLAMES (1-2-0) at MAPLE LEAFS (2-0-0)

TV: CBC

Season Series: First of two meetings. The Flames won both games last season. The Leafs' last victory against Calgary came on March 14, 2009.

Big Story: It's not as if this is the first time Dion Phaneuf has faced his former team since he was traded in 2010, but it's always a hot topic when these teams get together. In his two previous games against the Flames, he hasn't registered a point.

Who's Hot: In three games, Rene Bourque has 3 goals and Alex Tanguay has 4 assists for the Flames. … Phil Kessel is off to a hot start with 3 goals and 2 assists in two games for the Leafs.

Injury Report: Calgary's Mikael Backlund (finger) is out six weeks while Brendan Morrison (knee) is getting closer to a return. … Toronto is without Tim Connolly (upper body) and Nazem Kadri (knee) says he's ready to return, but it'll be up to the coaches to decide if he plays.

Final score and the Leafs take the win.

Flames went missing in the second (again) and just seem short on ideas of how to get the puck in the net
