BUFFALO, NY --The Calgary Flames kicked off their six-game road trip with a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday but they aren't fully satisfied with the effort they put forth at the Joe Louis Arena.
As head coach Glen Gulutzan put it, there is room for improvement.
"I think we need to be better tonight than we were last night. Going through that game in the wee hours of the morning, I thought we were good. We were good enough to get points out of there but I think there's still room for us to get a little bit better in some of the things we want to do.
"I thought we gave up too much through the neutral zone and that's what we looked at this morning. Detroit is still one of those teams that can get through you in the neutral zone, the way they bring up the puck together. I thought we weren't as connected as we needed to be there. We looked at some of that this morning."
