The forward, who was acquired by Calgary in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on March 6, had one assist in six games entering Friday.<\/p>\n
Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost and Matt Coronato also scored for the Flames (28-34-7), who have won two in a row to start a six-game homestand. Blake Coleman had two assists, and Dustin Wolf made 24 saves.<\/p>\n
A.J. Greer scored the lone goal for the Panthers (34-32-3), who have lost three of four, all on a road trip that ended Friday .<\/p>\n
Farabee gave the Flames a 1-0 lead at 7:44 of the second period. His shot from the left boards deflected off the leg of Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola in the left face-off circle and over Tarasov’s right shoulder into the net.<\/p>\n
Olofsson made it 2-0 at 10:10. Adam Klapka sent a pass from below the goal line to Olofsson, who buried a slap shot from the left circle to the glove side.<\/p>\n
Greer cut the deficit to 2-1 at 4:17 of the third period with a wrist shot from the left circle over Wolf’s glove.<\/p>\n
Flames forward Connor Zary left the game at 11:14 after being hooked and then pushed head-first into the boards by Greer, who was given a minor penalty for hooking, a five-minute major for interference and a 10-minute game misconduct.<\/p>\n
Mikkola left the game at 12:49 after a knee-on-knee collision with Calgary forward Ryan Strome.<\/p>\n
Frost made it 3-1 during a 5-on-3 power play at 16:59, backhanding a loose puck over a sprawling Tarasov from the top of the crease.<\/p>\n
Coronato pushed the lead to 4-1 with a power-play goal just 31 seconds later at 17:30. He took a stretch pass from Matvei Gridin in stride into the offensive zone and beat Tarasov with a snap shot from the slot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The forward, who was acquired by Calgary in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on March 6, had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-554237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
