For the 2nd time this month the Flames faced the task of holding the league lead in head to head competition against a club willing and able to at least gain a shared portion of the table’s best position depending on the outcome. Like the earlier occasion, Spectrum’s tenants picked up a valuable win, this time handing a 5-2 defeat to the visiting Manchester Phoenix. David Longstaff popped the cork on the evening’s offence when he slipped a puck through the legs of Steve Fone just 39 seconds in. About 12 minutes later Matt Towe delivered a perfect cross ice pass to Greg Chambers who converted the 2 on 1 break when he one timed the puck into an open cage. With time ticking away in the period, Juraj Faith got the Phoenix on the board to cut the lead in half. Late in the middle session, Rick Plant did the heavy lifting when he threw a check behind the goal line to force a turnover that ended up on the stick of David Savage who collected the puck before shifting just enough to slip a backhand past Fone while re-storing the 2 goal margin. The Phoenix pulled within 1 less than 5 minutes into the 3rd when Tom Duggan scored, but a pair of Flames replies ensured the win. Nathan Rempel netted at 52:35 before Ben Campbell iced it on a breakaway in the 59th minute.
