Calgary Flames wingers beats the clock with incredible game winning goal
The fans were treated to a dramatic game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Monday night. The Dallas Stars were hosting the Calgary Flames.
The Flames had the lead 4-3 with just under six minutes left when Stars' captain Jamie Benn scored his 26th goal of the season.
After Dallas failed to capitalize on a late power play following a boarding penalty against Nick Ritchie, it looked like the game was headed to overtime. Flames winger Jonathan Huberdeau gathered the puck from his own end and dished a beautiful feed to a streaking Tyler Toffoli, sending him in on a breakaway against Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger. Toffoli blasted a wrister glove side beating Oettinger for the game winner with 6.2 seconds left on the clock.
Toffoli took a peek at the clock as he was charging down the middle of the ice toward the Dallas net.
Even with the win the Flames are a long shot to make the playoffs, they are now five points out of the second wildcard spot. It certainly wasn't an easy win, but maybe a dramatic win like that will be something to build off of. With the win in Dallas the Flames snapped a five-game losing streak.
