  "account": "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.",
