Overview
- Calgary built a 4-0 cushion by 11:49 of the second period with goals from Yegor Sharangovich, Adam Klapka, Justin Kirkland and Yan Kuznetsov.
- The Islanders controlled early shots and chances but giveaways and loose own-zone play preceded the Flames’ second-period burst.
- Goaltender Dustin Wolf steadied Calgary with timely stops, while David Rittich conceded four goals on 19 shots for New York.
- Jean-Gabriel Pageau answered 32 seconds after the fourth Flames goal, and Anders Lee reached 300 career goals late during an extended 6-on-5 push that included an empty-net stretch and a fruitless 6-on-4.
- Before the game, Calgary reassigned Zayne Parekh on a conditioning loan and William Stromgren to the AHL, then recalled Matvei Gridin to skate on the second line.
