Andersson gave Calgary a 1-0 lead at 13:22 of the second period when his point shot through traffic beat Hellebuyck with Ryan Lomberg providing a screen in front.
“Obviously, it [stinks],” Andersson said of not being able to hold onto the lead. “We’re bringing the positives with us. We battled a full 60 [minutes] tonight. We didn’t do that the last few games, so bring the effort and get a couple more greasy ones, I guess.”
Toews tied it 1-1 on the power play at 2:41 of the third period when he tipped Neal Pionk’s point shot past Wolf. It was the Winnipeg native’s first goal since April 13, 2023, a span of 921 days.
“I just kept telling myself to be ready for that one chance,” Toews said. “We were talking (about) the power play, obviously it wasn’t going our way in the second. When we got our chance in the third, it was nice just to get a stick on it. Sometimes those go in, sometimes they don’t, so it was nice to get that first one and start to build some confidence in the offensive zone.”
