They tried a few options; some similar to Saturday’s game in Vancouver, some different.
Chad Johnson started in net (again). Brett Kulak started for Dennis Wideman on defence (again).
Calgary Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan put four forwards on the power play. He changed the lines. He changed the lines again.
And, just when it was looking like it was going to be the same old result, the same old head-scratching post-game press conference, a few unlikely stars took over.
Then one of their main stars — Sean Monahan — did the rest, scoring with 2:34 remaining in overtime to beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 and give his club their first victory of the season.
