Calgary Flames interim head coach Geoff Ward left no doubt about the failed coach’s challenge in the second period: “The right call was made, 100 percent.”

“There was a lot going on there,” said Ward of the review. “If he were to touch the puck a fraction of a second earlier, there was a little bit of time from the time the puck got knocked back in to the time that he actually put his stick on the puck to give the other guy time to tag up again.
