The Calgary Flames didn’t play a perfect hockey game on Wednesday night when they visited the Buffalo Sabres. But they got a strong performance from their goaltender and despite being out-played for a good chunk of the game, they put themselves in a situation to grab a win. The Flames eked out a 3-2 overtime victory.
The Rundown
The first period was fairly even, though Buffalo generated a few really good scoring chances. Late in the period the Flames hit the scoresheet, as a TJ Brodie wrist shot wobbled in from the point and beat Linus Ullmark between the wickets to give them Flames a 1-0 lead.
