Flames on verge of elimination after Avalanche fight back for 3-2 overtime win Globe_Sports
DENVER, COLORADO - APRIL 17: Members of the Colorado Avalanche celebrate their overtime win over the Calgary Flames during Game Four of the Western Conference First Round during the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Pepsi Center on April 17, 2019 in Denver, Colorado.
“They got the better of us again," Mike Giordano, the Calgary captain, said. “I am disappointed. We’ll regroup. We have a big game coming up. We have to find a way to get back here.”The Flames led 2-0 in the third period before allowing Colorado to escape. J.T. Compher scored with 11:50 remaining to cut the Avalanche’s deficit to 2-1, and then Mikko Rantanen tied it at 2 with 2:50 left.Colorado’s tying goal came after a hooking infraction on defenceman Mikael Backlund.
Smith shut out the Avalanche in Calgary’s only win in the series a week ago at the Saddledome. He has seen 147 shots in the last three games. The Flames had a spirited morning skate on Wednesday and it portended a better effort than in their lopsided Game 3 loss. It was a huge difference from Monday, when they appeared sluggish and disengaged in the early skate-around.
That means they had to play playoff-level hockey for three weeks and used it to their advantage by carrying the momentum over into the first round. Columbus did the same thing in the Eastern Conference, and then spanked Tampa Bay in the first round. Both goalies looked sharp at the onset of Game 4. Smith was peppered with pucks early on. He stopped a hard point-blank wrist shot from close in by Matt Nieto less than a minute and a half into the game. Shortly after that he denied Sven Andrighetto, Ian Cole and Tyson Barrie.
