The Canucks face the Flames in the second of a back to back with a chance to pass them in the standings. Quinn Hughes makes his return tonight to help them do so. The game would start with low event back and forth hockey until Hoglander would get a shot on goal with time and space but Wolf would make the save. Later Quinn Hughes would make a nice play to get in but couldn’t get the pass over to O’Conner. The game would go back and forth for a bit without a whistle but no big chances. Later Chytil would pick up the puck and cut to the net but Wolf would stand tall. Bhal would get a clean shot from the point that Lankinen would save the next shot would be tipped out of play deflecting off Lankinens mask. Backlund would get a rebound chance that Lankinen would save. After a good play by Joshua the puck would go back to the point and the shot would get to the net through traffic and the rebound would be handled by Wolf. Play would continue for a bit until D Petey would make a good hit and the Flames would take exception to it and a scuffle would happen.Zary would get an interference call and the Canucks would go to the powerplay. They would start chasing the puck down. They would come back and set up and get a chance but Wolf would make the save. Off the draw the Flames would get two clear and they would waste time on both of them the Canucks would come back but the Flames would clear. The powerplay would end as the Canucks enter and after his first shot got blocked Pius Suter would put it home on the second one for his of the year to take a 1-0 lead. The Flames would come back with a chance that Lankinen would stop. I went to highlights for the rest of this article because I had to go out for a while. Later the Flames would come back with a great pass that would send Kadri in and he would put it home with a beautiful move for his the year to tie the game. And the first would end that way.
In the second the Canucks would start it half way through with a Hughes shot that would be tipped by Debrusk and beat Wolf for his of the year to take a 2-1 lead. Three minutes later the Flames would come back off a bad dump in Rasmus Andersson would make a great pass to Rooney who would come in on a 2 on 0 with Huberdeau and he would send it to him and Huberdeau would bury his twenty third of the year to tie the game again. Later on the Flames powerplay they would enter the zone and cycle it to Huberdeau who would snipe it past Lankinen but nobody would know it went in for a bit but it would be his twenty fourth of the year to take their first lead at 3-2. The third would end there.
In the third Kadri would get a chance three minutes in but Lankinen would make the save. The Canucks would go to the powerplay and Hughes and DeBrusk would get chances but Wolf would hold the net. After the powerplay the Canucsk would get another chance with Garland sending one in front that Suter would get the rebound on but Wolf would hold. Later with six minutes to go Pettersson would get it to Mancini his shot would be stopped by Wolf but the rebound would pop out the Pettersson and he would put it home for his of the year to tie the game late. After a late scramble in front that would stay the game would go to overtime.
The Overtime period would see the Canucks getting two good chances with Pettersson getting stopped by Wolf and Boeser hitting the post. In the dying second Garland would cut in front and Wolf would make a great save on him to keep it tied and the game would go to a shootout.
In the shootout Pettersson would start and he would put it five hole to take the lead. After three misses Huberdeau would come in with Calgary’s last chance and he would put it past Lankinen to tie the shootout. Sharangovich would make a good move but Lankinen would follow it all the way and make the save. Garland would come in and put it glove side past Wolf to get the extra point for the Canucks.
