GAME SUMMARY<\/a> |\u00a0BOX SCORE<\/a>\u00a0| BUY TICKETS<\/a><\/p>\n Playing their second game in as many days, the Canes went into battle without the scorching Mark Jankowski, who was ruled out pre-game with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n In his absence, the two teams skated to a scoreless first period, but those who were tasked with filling his responsibilities made their presence felt in the second.<\/p>\n Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who filled Jankowski’s roles on special teams, opened the scoring 6:09 into the frame after whacking home a net-front setup from Nic Deslauriers, who drew into the lineup with the available spot at forward.<\/p>\n That goal set the tone for what would be a period mostly dominated by the visitors, but a stunning turning of the tide\u00a0led to Calgary posting a one-two punch in a span of 1:09 to take the lead. However, before Carolina went back to its locker room trailing, a seeing-eye wrist shot from Jalen Chatfield\u00a0reset the score with just three seconds on the clock.<\/p>\n Momentum, however, stayed with the hosts after the break as they built a 12-2 shot advantage through the first 10 minutes of the final frame. That push paid off with 4:08 to play, as\u00a0Sharangovich wired a one-timer off the rush to nudge his team back in front for the final time. Carolina threatened to equalize once more in the waning moments of action, but a combination of Flames goaltender Devin Cooley and the iron behind him kept the Canes at bay.<\/p>\n Brandon Bussi turned in the team’s first 30-save performance of the season with\u00a031\u00a0stops on 34 shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CALGARY, Alta. – Yegor Sharangovich’s third-period strike was the difference on Sunday as the Carolina Hurricanes fell to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":938625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-938624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/938624","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=938624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/938624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/938625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=938624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=938624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=938624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
