Flames erase four-goal third period deficit steal poin
Maybe coach Bob Hartley should try to convince his team that every period is the third period.Or that they are starting every game behind, because those seem to be the only two situations in which they are able to outscore their opponents.Even though they were on the losing end of a 5-4 shootout decision in Ottawa on Sunday, the NHL's best comeback artists this season were at it again when they erased a four-goal third period deficit to force overtime and pick up what will surely be a huge point in the standings in what was one of the most entertaining games of the season.The two teams combined for eight goals and 88 shots through overtime and finished it off with a great shootout that featured a couple of highlight reel goals, including this beauty from Flames rookie . Senators defenseman Erik Karl son ended up scoring the winner.But the thing that stands out about this game is yet another Flames comeback, something that is starting to become routine for them in what continues to be a stunning season for Pete Rose Jersey an organization that is trying to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2008-09 season.It was only the fifth time this season that two teams combined for at least eight goals and more than 80 shots in the same game, and was a nice change of pace from many of the low-scoring, low event games that have started to creep up as we get closer to playoff hockey. And if there was a game on Sunday that mattered in the playoff race for both teams, this was it. The Flames entered the day just a single point ahead of the for the third spot in the Pacific Division (and a playoff spot in the West), while Ottawa needed a win to keep pace with Boston in the race for a Card spot in the Eastern Conference.Both teams ended up getting something out of it, and even though the Flames failed to get the second point, they should at least feel fortunate to get anything out of it after falling down 4-0 after the first 40 minutes. It continued a season-long trend for the Flames where they get badly outscored through the first two periods before somehow filling the net in the third period. More than 44 percent of their goals have come in the third period this season, while it remains the only period where they outscore their opponents this season (plus-36. They are minus-25 in the first and second periods combined).They have been trailing after two periods 30 times this season and have managed to earn at least a point in the standings in 13 of those games (43 percent). Only one team in the league (Detroit -- 45 percent) has managed a point in a higher percentage of earning a point in games they have trailed after two periods. Ottawa is back in action on Tuesday night for a huge game with Boston while Calgary hosts Anaheim on Wednesday. Emilio Pagan Jersey
