Canucks hand Flames 3-2 shootout loss, dimming Calgary’s playoff hopes
The Flames rallied from a two-goal deficit to force extra time, but ultimately fell 3-2 to the Vancouver Canucks in a shootout — a loss that dims the team’s playoff hopes as the regular season winds to a close.
Elias Pettersson and Cole McWard — with his first NHL point — put away first-period goals for Vancouver .Andrei Kuzmenko buried the lone goal in the shootout, skating wide of the Calgary net, then firing a shot up and into the top corner to secure the win. “We know where they are , so we know they were going to come out hard and we wanted to match that,” Pettersson said. “And I think we did a really good job. They scored two quick on us. I think we let our foot off the gas but other than that I’m happy with our team.”
“Battles under pressure, wanting the puck when your teammate has it, little things like that. I’m glad we won, don’t get me wrong, but it’s the little things here that we really got to value,” he said. Blake Coleman and Lindholm streaked down the ice on a short-handed two-on-one, and Coleman sliced a pass to his teammate across the slot. Lindholm sent a shot soaring at the Vancouver net, only to see Demko dive and snatch the puck out of mid-air with a stunning glove save.
