Canucks 4, Flames 1: A roaring comeback and a hot goalie
There were hits, there was dirty play, there were goals, Leevi Meriläinen was a cool cucumber in the net and the home team got a win.
VANCOUVER - In a thrilling 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday night, the Vancouver Canucks showcased their resilience and skill. Liam Ohgren marked his 100th NHL game by not only scoring a goal but also setting up a game-winning assist for Elias Pettersson. Pettersson then sealed the win with a backhand goal just moments later.
The Canucks' defense was led by Tom Willander and Linus Karlsson, who each contributed two assists. Despite facing early adversity, including a disputed goal initially ruled out, the Canucks managed to rally and secure the win. Flames' goal scorer Matt Coronato had previously opened the scoring with a power-play goal. Goaltender Leevi Merilainen made 23 saves in his first start for Vancouver as the team looks ahead to their next matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights.
