Flames power through bad bounces against Anaheim
The Calgary Flames were the better team for much of their Monday afternoon game against the Anaheim Ducks. Yet somehow 3:05 into the the third period they were down two goals and facing the prospect of losing yet another home game to a conference foe.
16:55 later, they were celebrating a hard-fought victory where rather than wilt when down a pair of goals they doubled down.
The big story of the afternoon was Andrew Mangiapane’s first NHL hat trick. The winger had a monster night, with three goals, a primary assist, three shots and a plus-four rating – his 4.515 game score is easily the best single game performance by a Flame this season.
His coach really liked his game.
