Calgary celebrated the retirement of Miikka Kiprusoff's No. 34 in style on Saturday night with a stirring comeback victory.
Yegor Sharangovich scored two goals, including the game-winner with 50 seconds left in the third period, as the Flames overcame a two-goal deficit with 10 minutes to go for a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Down 3-1 midway through the third and being outshot by a considerable margin, Calgary suddenly woke up, tying it on goals 32 seconds apart. Despite trading away key veterans on expiring contracts such as Elias Lindholm and most recently, Chris Tanev, Calgary has won a season-high five consecutive games to climb within five points of the Los Angeles Kings, who occupy the Western Conference’s second wild-card playoff berth.
“We’re not here to pack it in and look to the future. We’ve got guys that have won in here, we’ve got guys that want to win in here, and there’s never going to be any quit in our team,” said Coleman. “As long as we got a breath in us, we’re gonna have that fight.”With Tampa Bay victorious earlier in the evening, the Penguins fall 10 points back of the Lightning, who currently hold the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
