The Vancouver Canucks will welcome the Calgary Flames to Rogers Arena for an NHL game on Friday. The Vancouver Canucks lost 6-5 in their last game over the Blues. Andrei Kuzmenko and Quinn Hughes scored two goals apiece, and Brock Boeser added a goal and two assists for the Canucks.
Vancouver scored twice in the third period to tie it 5. “We played a pretty solid game, but in the end, we gave up way too many goals,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. “Penalty kill, got to do a better job. The fourth goal, we’ve got to defend that. We got mixed up on that play, and the tying goal, tough play, but we’ve got to try and eat that shot from the point.” The Canucks narrowed the gap to 5-4 on Kuzmenko’s second goal at 12:18. Hughes tied it with his second goal at 19:06 while the Canucks had an extra skater on the ice.
“Quinn has been very assertive in all facets of the game,” said coach Rick Tocchet. “He was competing tonight. Even when it was 5-2, you could tell by the gleam in his eye like he didn’t think we were out of it. So, obviously he was the main reason we got back in it.” Vrana snapped a 2-2 tie at 7:24 of the second period and kicked off a three-goal push. Brandon Saad picked off a Boeser pass and fed Vrana, who scored on a slap shot from the top of the slot.
The Calgary Flames on the other hand won 2-1 against the Kings in their last game. Jacob Markstrom made 32 saves Tuesday night to backstop the Calgary Flames to a critical 2-1 victory over the streaking Los Angeles Kings. Andrew Mangiapane and Walker Duehr scored for Calgary, which won its second consecutive game and improved to 7-3-2 in its last 12.
The Flames moved within two points of the Winnipeg Jets, who occupy the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Winnipeg lost 3-0 at struggling San Jose. Starting for the 15th time in 16 games, Markstrom turned in one of his best performances this season. The veteran goalie made numerous important saves to help the Flames’ 2-1 lead from the first period hold up the rest of the way. “He was sharp. Made some big stops. He probably stole us two points,” Calgary center Elias Lindholm said.
