Mikael Backlund's power-play goal in overtime gave Calgary a 3-2 victory over the Rangers and snapped their seven-game winning streak.
— Mikael Backlund's power-play goal 1:28 into overtime Saturday night gave the Calgary Flames a 3-2 victory over theAndrew Mangiapane and Nazem Kadri both scored in the first minute for Calgary . The Flames pulled even in points with Minnesota for the second wild-card berth in the Western Conference, but the Wild have a game in hand.
Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexis Lafreniere scored for the Rangers , who have earned at least one point in each of their last 10 games . They are 14-2-4 in their last 20."Going down early like we did, first two shifts of the game 2-0, in order to get a point we had to claw back," said Rangers center Vincent Trocheck, who had two assists."I thought we played a good game the rest of the way. Just first two minutes really killed us.
But against a struggling Flames team, they could only solve Jacob Markstrom twice on 21 shots. Markstrom won for just the second time since Jan. 6. He improved to 15-13-7."We hung him out to dry early. Some of the saves he made were unbelievable," New York defenseman Ryan Lindgren said. Calgary was ahead 2-0 less than a minute into the game, but the score remained that way for more than 36 minutes before New York cut the deficit in half at 16:53 of the second period when Tarasenko capped off a pretty three-way passing play with Artemi Panarin and Trocheck.Calgary had numerous chances to regain a two-goal lead in the third, but Halak was excellent.
