A trip to Manchester Storm put a stop to the Flames 3 game winning streak with the hosts spending excessive stretches on the powerplay, including a couple of 5 on 3’s, then worked through a furious comeback effort as part of their 4-3 win over the visitors from Surrey.

A late first period strike by Tim MacGauley had Storm in front through the opening set.  3 minor penalties in a little over 2 minutes across the end of the 1^st and start of the 2^nd had Flames down a couple of men for an extended period. They managed to get through it just a goal off the pace, but Drydn Dow and Lewis Hook even strength markers at 30 minutes and 36:40 respectively, had the home team in command.  Another long 5 on 3 Storm powerplay for the last couple minutes offered a chance to blow the game open, but a successful kill kept Flames within 3 to kick off the final frame.  

Cole Sanford put Flames on the board shortly after re-start.  Mathieu Gosselin cut the deficit further less than 2 minutes after that. He pulled Flames fully level at 47:35, but just 20 seconds later Hook’s 2^nd of the contest survived a high sticking video review and completed the win for the home side. 

Brad Arvanitis turned away 29 of 33 shots for Flames while Evan Weninger was 24 for 27 in the Storm crease.
