Flames Score Thrilling OT Win, Rookies Shine

0:00On March 23rd, the Calgary Flames grabbed the thrilling 4-3 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking their third straight victory. Rookie Mott-Vey-Gridden set up Brian Strong for the Game Winner after a tight battle that saw the Flames score three times before Tampa rallied late. Earlier this week, Calgary jumped out strong, despite Tampa striking first. They fired back with quick goals from Victor Olofsen and Morgan Frost, just 27 seconds apart, then added one from a kale backlin' to take a two-go lead into the third period. Fans are buzzing about goalie Devin Coolie's huge performance, especially shutting down Nikita Kutra off for most of the night. His key stays in the third kept the Flames alive as Tampa dominated shots, and the crowd loved backlin' old school slap shot they got everyone on. Their feet. Standout rookies like the 20-year-old Gridden and Mac Coronado show great chemistry, driving offense and boosting team confidence. Lines with Morgan Frost and McCull backlin' have been rock solid on both ends, while defenseman Zane Perrek keeps creating chances of ice.
