The Flames dropped a tough one to a gritty Buffalo squad last night, 1-0 in OT. This game was a goaltender battle from start to finish with Jacob Markstrom and Dustin Tokarski making highlight reel after highlight reel save. The two combined for 57 saves, but it was the one that wasn’t “saved” that was the big difference.
With 2 minutes left in overtime, Buffalo dumped the puck into the Flames zone. Jacob Markstrom came out to play the puck to help clear and start a break, but he whiffed on the puck leaving it sitting there for Tage Thompson to scoop up and fire into the empty net, sending Calgary to defeat.
