The Calgary Flames began a three-game road-swing with their first ever stop at Mullett Arena to take on the Arizona Coyotes.

In the second, Arizona would score three-unanswered goals to go up 3-1. Calgary would battle back first with Elias Lindholm cutting the deficit to one before Tyler Toffoli tied the game at three through 40. In the third, it would be the youngsters who stepped up for Calgary with Jakob Pelletier tipping home his second career goal, immediately followed up by a beauty backhand from Walker Duehr just 20 seconds later. Mikael Backlund would add another for the Flames, as Calgary emerged from their first trip to Mullett Arena victorious, 6-3.

GOLDEN KNIGHTS LAST GAME RECAP
February 21 – Vegas Golden Knights 2, Chicago Blackhawks 3 SO
The Vegas Golden Knights (34-18-5) had their five-game win streak snapped in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks (19-32-5) on Tuesday night at the United Center. Keegan Kolesar opened the scoring 3:26 into the contest. Midway through the period, Cole Guttman knotted the score, and the teams went into the intermission level at 1-1. In the second period, Jack Eichel buried his 18th goal of the season to give Vegas a 2-1 lead. The Golden Knights held the lead until the final minute of regulation when Tyler Johnson’s power-play goal tied the game and sent it to overtime. After overtime passed without a goal, Johnson netted the only goal in the shootout to give Chicago the 3-2 win.

LAST GAME BY THE NUMBERS

  • Shea Theodore extends his point streak to four games with an assist on Eichel’s goal
  • In his first NHL start since Mar. 15 2022, Laurent Brossoit makes 37 saves and posts a .949 save percentage
  • Vegas extended their point streak to seven games, going back to their game against the Islanders on Jan. 28

Back on Track
Despite seeing their five-game win streak come to an end on Tuesday against the Blackhawks, the Golden Knights currently hold on to a seven-game point streak at 5-0-2 entering their game with the Flames on Thursday. The previous win streak was the second-longest for Vegas this year, behind their nine-game streak early in the season.

Against the Flames
The Golden Knights’ matchup against the Flames marks the second of four this season. Vegas owns an all-time record of 10-5-0 against Calgary and have never lost to the club at T-Mobile Arena, outscoring the Flames 30 to 8 in Vegas. The last time the teams met, the Flames handed the Golden Knights their first loss of the season. William Carrier and Brett Howden each recorded their first goals of the season but it was Calgary’s Mikael Backlund’s late third-period goal that completed the comeback win for the Flames.
