Not the ending the Flames were looking for for sure as they blew a 2-0 lead and a 3-1 lead during a 4-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks Tuesday night.
It wasn’t all bad though, as is evidenced by the HOTN. It’s been one of those seasons for Mikael Backlund. He hasn’t been putting the puck in the net and what breakaway chances he’s had haven’t gone his way, but tonight he took matters into his own hands.
Gaudreau would steal the puck at the blue line and come into the zone on a two on one with Mikael Backlund on his left.
