Flames Defeat Rangers 3-2 in a Thrilling Comeback Game
Connor Zary's third-period goal secured Calgary's victory after New York erased a two-goal deficit in a tightly contested matchup.
- Connor Zary scored the game-winning goal in the third period, lifting the Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Rangers after a determined individual effort under pressure.
- Calgary dominated early, outshooting New York 20-5 in the first period, but only led 1-0 heading into the second period due to Igor Shesterkin's stellar goaltending.
- Yegor Sharangovich's second-period power-play goal, which survived a controversial hand-pass challenge, extended the Flames' lead to 2-0 before the Rangers tied the game with two quick goals in 16 seconds.
- The Rangers relied heavily on Shesterkin, who made a season-high 46 saves, but were hampered by penalties and struggled to maintain puck possession throughout the game.
- Jonathan Huberdeau notched his 500th career assist for Calgary, while the Flames extended their point streak to seven of their last eight games, chasing the top spot in the Pacific Division.
