Matthew Tkachuk stars in Calgary Flames’ 3-2 comeback win
Matthew Tkachuk, in an utterly dominating second and third period, spearheaded a Calgary Flames’ revival, helping the away side complete the comeback with an astonishing last-minute tipped winner.
The 3-2 win over the Islanders improves Calgary’s record to 3-1 on the current six-game stint. Securing two points helped the Flames jump into a share of second place with the Sharks in the Pacific Division.
The win didn’t come without potentially bloodcurdling collateral damage. Mike Smith looked to aggravate his groin as he stretched for a shot with a second left in the game. It’s merely speculation at this early stage, but Smith, writhing in pain, had to be helped off the ice.
