CALGARY FLAMES NOTES:
FLAMES LAST GAME RECAP
March 31, 2023 – CALGARY FLAMES [5] vs. VANCOUVER CANUCKS 4
The Flames made their first trip to Vancouver in the 2022-23 season on Friday night for a clash with the Canucks. Vancouver would score the only goal of the opening frame off the stick of Conor Garland to lead through 20 and would double their advantage just 36 seconds into the second period to go up 2-0. Tyler Toffoli would draw the Flames within one with his new career-high 32nd goal on the campaign, followed by Blake Coleman scoring to tie the game. Vancouver would respond and retake the lead before Troy Stecher buried his second as a Flame to tie the game once again. Vancouver would again respond to go up 4-3 through 40. It would take Calgary until the 16:47 mark to find another answer, but the Flames resilience would pay off with Jonathan Huberdeau scoring his 15th to draw the Flames level late in the third, and the back-and-forth contest required overtime. In the extra frame, Tyler Toffoli once again played hero for the Flames, burying his second of the game, and fourth game-winning goal to give the Flames a huge two points in a 5-4 overtime victory.
