The Calgary Flames gave up the first goal on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. They trailed after two periods. They were out-shot and out-chanced. But they still managed a 4-2 home ice victory.
Following the game, interim head coach Geoff Ward – now a spotless 7-0-0 as a bench boss – commented on the victory:
“Our team has been pretty resilient now for probably the last three hockey games and tonight was no different. I think the added bonus for us tonight was being down early in the third, they put a good push on at the beginning of the third and we were able to get them back on their heels and score a couple of goals.
