Despite an offence that’s gone ice cold, the Calgary Flames remained red hot on Tuesday night, eking out another narrow victory.
Rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf made 28 saves and Rasmus Andersson scored the tying goal in the third period as Calgary escaped with a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders. The Flames now have points in six of their last seven games with four wins and two losses in extra time.
“Wolfie was unbelievable, especially at the start of the third,” said Andersson. “He saved us there.”
With the Islanders up 1-0 on Pierre Engvall’s second-period goal, the visitors poured on the pressure to start to the third, but clutch stops from Wolf, including a close-in pad save off Bo Horvat, kept Calgary within striking distance.
