Man a lot of shocking things went down in Vancouver on Friday night.
The Flames won in overtime, that’s pretty rare as they beat the Canucks 5-4 in a crucial, must win game. But they also managed their first come from behind (trailing after two periods) victory on the season.
Jacob Markstrom gave up four goals on 12 shots through two periods before shutting the door and playing a huge role in the victory.
Tyler Toffoli was the man in overtime and scored two on the night as he continued his career season.
And Mikael Backlund, likely the team’s best player this season, bounced back from a brutal first period turnover leading to the Canuck’s first goal, and another over pinch in the second to set up two late goals including the game winner.
The Jets win, but the Flames hold serve.
