Sharangovich scored on the penalty kill at 13:38 for the 5-2 final.
The Flames felt that goal was a momentum-changer.
“They had just scored, and they had lots of time left on their power play, so that was a big moment for us, for sure,” Huska said. “I think it took a little bit of the wind out of their sails, as well.”
Jones, whose giveaway helped lead to the short-handed goal, was minus-4 for the Blackhawks, but Chicago interim coach Anders Sorensen didn’t single him out.
“Well, I think we all have to do some looking inwards, right?” Sorensen said. “It's not just him. I think it's all of us. Just kind of to get this back on track, what do we all need to do individually? That's probably the biggest thing right now, including us as a staff and as a group. The only way through this is going to be as a group, right?
“Just that, that was a tough loss, right? Didn't come out with any urgency at all. And then, yeah, behind eight ball again. I shouldn't say again, because we actually scored early in other games, right? But this one, we got behind the eight ball quickly.”
