The Vegas Golden Knights (49-22-10) fell to the Calgary Flames (40-27-14), 5-4, in a shootout on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Vegas struck first as Pavel Dorofeyev's pass from the boards pinballed into the Calgary net to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. After the Flames answered with a power-play goal midway through the period, Nicolas Roy netted a breakaway goal and Tomas Hertl converted on a quick shot from the slot as the Golden Knights took a 3-1 lead into the second period. The middle frame passed without a goal and the Flames battled back to tie the game with two goals in the first 1:04 of the third period. Adam Klapka gave Calgary the lead with 8:59 to play, but Brandon Saad answered just 11 seconds later to knot the score at 4-4. The next puck that found the back of the net came from a Morgan Frost wrist shot in the third round of the shootout that sealed the win for the Flames.
