Flames defeat Capitals 3-1, end home streak

The Calgary Flames secured an impressive 3-1 victory over the Washington Capitals, ending the Capitals' 16-game home point streak. Martin Pospisil and Matt Coronato scored in the first period, with Coronato's goal being crucial in maintaining the Flames' lead. Despite Alex Ovechkin scoring his 883rd career goal and continuing to close in on Wayne Gretzky's all-time record, the Flames held strong with Dan Vladar making 26 saves. Jonathan Huberdeau added an insurance goal in the third period to seal the Flames' win. This victory marks the start of a challenging six-game road trip for Calgary, during which they hope to solidify their playoff position. The Flames' performance, particularly Vladar's goaltending, was key in overcoming the Eastern Conference leaders.
