Calgary Puck

I’ll take the point.

Down two goals to a desperate Vegas team, Flames come back to tie it and then have to kill off 90 seconds of powerplay to secure overtime. I’ll take the point.

In overtime the Flames had the first half of the four on four period, the Knights the second half, with Vegas winning on a flukey own goal off of Mackenzie Weegar’s skate.

The overtime loss moves the Flames to within four points of the Wild with a game in hand and a huge match up in six days.

Huge point. Keeps the season interesting for a few more days.

Gravy!

In the end the Flames played a solid game and were well deserved in a 4-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

But not without a great opening 20 from Dustin Wolf as the Flames gave up way too much and could have found themselves in trouble without their goaltender.

Blake Coleman scores twice for the Flames, giving him 15 on the season in the win.

The St. Louis Blues win again, of course, but the Wild lost in overtime last night so the Flames move a point closer in the last 24 hours.

Live another day.

No comeback tonight.

The Flames just didn’t have it on back to back nights, relying way too much on Dustion Wolf through 40 minutes and making it close before falling 3-1 (with an empty netter) in Utah on Tuesday night.

The news gets worse out of town with the Blues coming from behind to beat the Wings in overtime; their 10th straight win.

Target Minnesota?

Tough loss for the Flames.

Didn’t see that coming.

The Flames grinding out what looked to be a 2-0 loss get two third period goals from the fourth line, force overtime and win it in a shoot out in the most unexpected fashion.

Their odds on a playoff spot improve a touch, as that was a likely loss on the schedule.

Goals from Ryan Lomberg and Adam Klapka on the same shift got them a point, and then Dan Vladar stopping all three in the shoot out and Yegor Sharangovich scoring gets them the two points.

Back at it tomorrow night in Utah.

Keep that train a rolling!

What a run by this plucky group.

A rough second period, where they took too many penalties and handed the momentum to the visitors and nearly paid for it.

Heading to the third period down a goal the Flames flip the script, go up one, lose the lead, but then win it 4-3 in overtime with Nazem Kadri scoring the game winner.

How much fun is this?

Epic, for everything hockey in late March in a season that was supposed to end with a top five pick.

The Blues win as well, so nothing gained, but the come from behind keeps them in it, and pushes Vancouver and Utah further out of the discussion.

Keep it rolling.
