Ivan Barbashev<\/a> had a goal and two assists, and Shea Theodore<\/a>\u00a0had two assists for the Golden Knights (34-26-16), who have won two straight under Tortorella. Carter Hart<\/a>\u00a0made 19 saves in his return after missing 33 games because of a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n

Vegas is three points behind the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks for first place in the Pacific Division, and five points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just stuck with our game plan of trying to play quick, play up the ice, play in their face,\u201d Marner said. \u201cI thought we did a better job throughout the game of covering for one another when we were doing that. Obviously, some great plays from some guys to find me, and just kind of make plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blake Coleman<\/a> scored twice, and Morgan Frost<\/a>\u00a0also had a goal for the Flames (31-36-8), who were coming off a 9-2 loss at the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. Dustin Wolf<\/a> made 28 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took too many penalties. Can\u2019t give (those to) a team with a power play like that,\u201d said Calgary defenseman Zach Whitecloud<\/a>, who was playing his first game against Vegas since being traded in the deal for Rasmus Andersson<\/a>\u00a0on Jan. 18. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to claw your way out of that. It loses momentum and creates momentum for them, whether they create chances or vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frost gave the Flames a 1-0 lead at 7:41 of the first period. He intercepted a pass by Kaedan Korczak<\/a>\u00a0in the neutral zone, skated in on a 2-on-1, and stopped in the left circle after getting the defenseman to commit to the pass before scoring short side past Hart’s glove.<\/p>\n

Marner tied the game 1-1 at 1:47 of the second period, redirecting\u00a0Theodore\u2019s shot from the top of the right circle.<\/p>\n

Coleman put the Flames back ahead 2-1 at 4:38. He took a pass from Mikael Backlund<\/a>\u00a0on a 2-on-1 rush, moved the puck to his forehand, and beat Hart blocker side from the right circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ivan Barbashev had a goal and two assists, and Shea Theodore\u00a0had two assists for the Golden Knights (34-26-16),…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":579369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-579368","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/579369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
