Symbolic of just how much things have changed in Calgary this season, no one in the post-game presser was willing to bite on the narrative they deserved a better fate.
The focus of his uncharacteristic positivity revolved around his club’s ability to fight back from a third period deficit against a stingy Preds squad the Flames outshot 40-22.who tied it up with a rocket three minutes into the third period speaks even more to the changes around town that have the once-forgotten defenceman playing in key moments.
“I thought we were all over them,” said Tkachuk, whose club saw a remarkable four players sent in alone in a three-minute stretch. Coming off three goose eggs in his last four games, Markstrom’s shutout streak ended midway through the first period when Luke Kunin’s redirection of a point shot going wide was the first to beat him in 144 minutes.
Expect Brad Richardson, declared long-ago healthy by Sutter earlier in the day, to step in Thursday against Dallas. However, the two units moved the puck well, created several good chances and, as Sutter pointed out, he’ll gladly take one a game, like the one Tkachuk buried.
