For the second game in a row, the Calgary Flames couldn't lock down a win after leading in the third period on Tuesday. This one, however, was a bit harder to accept. (EricFrancis)
It’s one thing to blow a one-goal lead in the final 10 minutes against Connor McDavid, like his team did Saturday.
“At the end of the day having a two-goal lead in the third period, you should be able to close it out. But give them credit, they pushed back.”Tyler Toffoli and Trevor Lewis opened the third period with goals 17 seconds apart, giving the hosts a 4-2 lead few expected could be overcome by a rag-tag bunch from Seattle that lost all four games to Calgary a year earlier.
One of the most engaged players all night was Zadorov, whose late first-period fight with Jamie Oleksiak was aimed entirely at spurring on a listless bunch.
