Power play falters, Canes burned by Flames
The Carolina Hurricanes blew an early 2-0 lead Saturday night in the Saddledome, ultimately falling 3-2 to the Calgary Flames in overtime.
Special teams play doomed the Canes, as Carolina went 0 for 4 on the power play in the contest including a late four-minute man advantage in the third period. Nazem Kadri netted a power-play goal for the home team, while Brett Ritchie also scored in regulation. Tyler Toffoli tallied the overtime winner for the Flames.
For Carolina, Sebastian Aho stayed hot with another goal and Calvin de Haan scored his first of the year, but an overall inability to capitalize on chances cost the Canes their second straight game in Alberta.
