  • The Calgary Flames defeated the New York Islanders 2-1 in a shootout, with rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf making 28 saves and stopping both shootout attempts.
  • Rasmus Andersson scored Calgary’s lone regulation goal on a third-period power play, ending his seven-game point drought.
  • Andrei Kuzmenko and Justin Kirkland scored in the shootout to seal the Flames’ fourth win in their last seven games, improving their record to 10-6-3.
  • Despite leading 1-0 heading into the third period, the Islanders failed to capitalize on key opportunities, including a power play in overtime, and dropped to 7-7-5.
  • The Flames’ offense remains a concern, having scored three or fewer goals in 16 consecutive games, but Wolf’s stellar goaltending has kept the team competitive.
