Flames' Slow Start Continues With 6-2 Loss to Golden Knights

The Calgary Flames’ early-season struggles deepened after a 6-2 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, extending their winless streak to 1-6-0. Vegas dominated from the outset, capitalizing on defensive lapses and special teams opportunities to build an early lead.

Brett Howden scored within the first 25 seconds, and Jack Eichel added a shorthanded goal just nine minutes later to make it 2-0. While Jake Middleton trimmed the deficit with his first goal as a Flame in the second period, the Golden Knights quickly reasserted control, with Braeden Bowman and Mark Stone contributing key tallies.

Stone’s hat trick in the third period sealed the outcome, though Matt Coronato’s late power-play goal provided the only bright spot for Calgary. The Flames’ inability to sustain momentum and limit critical scoring moments proved decisive in another tough loss on the road.
