It was the Flames first marker of the tourney after they opened with 3-0 loss to the Canucks on Friday night.
Dustin Wolf, playing in his second game in as many nights, made 21 saves after turning aside 34 pucks against Vancouver.
"Kind of the same story as last night," said head coach Mitch Love. "Decent first period, and then the game kind of got away from us at times. And it's been a bit of a struggle for us offensively so far. But, you know, again, we'll look at some things here, we've got a day to reset ourselves, and then get back here and try to find a win for this tournament."
The Flames don't play Sunday, practicing in the afternoon before finishing things off against the Jets Monday.
"Tonight, probably more so last night was hard for us to make two consecutive plays," said Love. "I think with young minds and back to backs it starts to wear on you mentally and then you start to squeeze your stick and the execution isn't there and I think that's what we ran into a little bit tonight you know, so I think the day off and you know, maybe in practice try to work on gaining some confidence offensively as a group (for) Monday."
