Owen Nolan led the way with two goals Saturday night as the Calgary Flames won 4-1 over the Edmonton Oilers in NHL action. The Flames entered the night having not scored in the first period in the previous six games, but Nolan changed that 16:14 into the game. Dion Phaneuf's shot from the blue-line changed directions, caromed off an Oiler in front of the net, then hit Nolan around the midsection and just trickled over the goal line.

The Flames arrived in the city of Calgary in 1980 after spending their first eight seasons in Atlanta, Georgia as the Atlanta Flames. The Flames are the only NHL club to relocate from the United States to Canada, and are ... the only NHL club to retain its nickname after a relocation. (The Dallas Stars shortened their name after moving from Minneapolis as the North Stars.) The Flames spent their first three seasons playing in the Stampede Corral, during which they lost only 32 games,[1] before moving into the Olympic Saddledome in 1983.
