Svatos opened the scoring, putting away a rebound of Smyth's shot at 14:33 of the first. Two minutes later, Stewart picked up a loose puck and beat McElhinney to make it 2-0.

Calgary made it 2-1 when Cammalleri scored as time was running low on a two-man advantage for the Flames, but Smyth put the Avalanche ahead to stay when he scored on McElhinney with 13 minutes gone in the second period.
