Andersson has three points, Vladar wins again as Flames beat Wild (Sportsnet.ca)

Rasmus Andersson notched the game-winner at 15:57 of the third period and added two assists as the Calgary Flames overcame a disastrous start in a 5-3 ...

Entering play, Minnesota was 8-for-19 with the man advantage over the last six games. Kaprizov entered the game on an offensive tear with 19 points in his last dozen games. He settled in and finished with 25 saves for his fourth straight victory, improving to 5-4-1 on the season. Toffoli got a piece of Andersson's heavy slapshot from the blue line. To lose a game in which they scored the first goal and led after the first period is a rarity for the Wild. Mason Shaw and Jon Merrill also scored for Minnesota (13-10-2), which had its four-game winning streak come to an end.

Calgary Flames Post-Game: Flames rally for comeback win over Wild (Flames Nation)

Mid-week games between the Calgary Flames and Minnesota Wild have not traditionally been particularly exciting hockey games. Wednesday night's meeting between ...

Let’s go with Toffoli, who scored the eventual game-winning goal (off his body). They play three games in four nights between Friday and Monday, starting on Friday with a trip to visit Johnny Gaudreau and the Columbus Blue Jackets. All three of those shots went in. Nazem Kadri deflected a slap-pass from Elias Lindholm (from the right point) past Marc-Andre Fleury from the slot to cut Minnesota’s lead to 2-1. Jon Merrill’s point shot glanced off Tanev and past Vladar to tie the game up at 3-3. The Rasmus Andersson point shot goes off Tyler Toffoli and in. After a bit of cycling around the offensive zone, Rasmus Andersson’s slap shot from the point glanced in off Tyler Toffoli to give the Flames a 3-2 lead. They had a third advantage that spilled into the second period. That left Nikita Zadorov defending a two-on-one, and Connor Dewar’s pass got through Zadorov and Mason Shaw got a back-door tap-in to give the Wild a 2-0 lead. 1:27 into the period, a pass between Chris Tanev and MacKenzie Weegar below the Flames’ goal line didn’t find its intended recipient. The Flames have won three games in a row. The action was few and far between, but the game did have some.

After slow start, Flames offence wakes up to defeat Wild (Calgary Sun)

Rasmus Andersson has goal and two assists as the Calgary Flames feat the Minnesota Wild 5-3.

Brett Ritchie, Coleman and Zadorov all collected their first NHL helpers against the Wild. “I think a lot of stuff is clicking, but first 10 minutes tonight wasn’t good enough, so that’s something we’ve gotta figure out.” Suddenly, they’re only four points back of the second-place Seattle Kraken in the Pacific Division. Three different current Flames players recorded their first NHL assist against the Wild earlier in their careers, odd as that seems. “I think they’re just better around the net, closer to the net. But the Flames composed themselves and eventually started dictating the pace of the game in the final minutes of the first. Less then a minute later, it got worse for the Flames when Mason Shaw converted on a two-on-one.You could hear the groans coming from the Calgary crowd. You could see the tweets about the Flames not realizing it was an unusual 6 p.m. But it wouldn’t be fair to focus exclusively on the way the Flames started. “It’s just staying poised and composed and not letting that seep into the second and third period. And then, well … Article content
