Here is the 2016 Calgary Flames Qualifying Tournament in its entirety.

The top-seeded ’88-’89 Calgary Flames breezed through the qualifying tournament without losing a game. They easily handled the seventh-seeded ’94-’95 Calgary Flames in the Final. In Game 1, the ’88-’89 Flames shutout the ’94-’95 Flames 5-0 as goaltender Mike Vernon stopped all 31 shots against. Defenseman Al MacInnis led the way with two goals and two assists in the win. The ’88-’89 Flames then scored three goals in the first period of Game 2 as they went on to hang on late to a 5-4 win. Both Joe Mullen and Gary Roberts tallied two goals and an assist for the ’88-’89 Flames as they took a 2-0 series lead. In Game 3, the ’94-’95 Flames broke out to a 2-0 lead in the second period, but by the end of that period, they trailed 3-2. The ’88-’89 Flames won 5-2 with Joe Nieuwendyk leading the way offensively with two goals and two assists. They finished off the sweep with a 5-1 win in Game 4. Nieuwendyk shined again as he scored twice and added an assist while MacInnis also pitched in with two goals. The ’88-’89 Flames will now be making their third trip out of three years and will try to make up for a disappointing second appearance after being the runner up in the inaugural tournament.
