Hunter Brzustewicz<\/a> scored his first NHL goal for the Flames (21-25-6), who went 1-2-2 on a five-game homestand. Matt Coronato<\/a> had a goal and an assist, and Wolf made 17 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought there was a lot more positive things for us tonight, for sure,\u201d Calgary coach Ryan Huska said. \u201cAnother good start. I thought we had a bit of a lull in the second period again, but we got back to our game in the third period. Tonight, I felt like there was a lot for us to build on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Huberdeau<\/a> gave Calgary a 1-0 lead at 6:17 of the first period. Mikael Backlund<\/a>‘s initial shot following a hard drive to the net was stopped by Dostal, but Huberdeau swatted at the rebound before the puck eventually deflected in off Anaheim defenseman Jackson LaCombe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brzustewicz, who was playing in his 18th career game, made it 2-0 at 7:56. He tried to send a cross-ice to Joel Farabee<\/a> from the left circle but had it deflect into the net off the stick of LaCombe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [stinks] that we couldn\u2019t come out with the win, but it felt good in the moment,\u201d Brzustewicz said. “[Adam Klapka<\/a>] picked me up like I was his kid or something. I don\u2019t even know what happened really. He just picked me up and twirled me around like I was a little string bean out there. It was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sennecke cut it to 2-1 at 3:22 of the second period. Situated in front of the net, Killorn took a pass from Granlund before sending a short backhand feed to Sennecke, who one-timed it glove side on Wolf from the right circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just one of those games where everything kind of goes in for you,\u201d Sennecke said. \u201cYou get them every once in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sennecke then tied it 2-2 at 12:41. He took a backdoor pass from Granlund at the left post on a 3-on-2 rush and scored over Wolf\u2019s outstretched right pad.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a special night tonight,\u201d Anaheim coach Joel Quenneville said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of these kids that\u2019s just growing as the season has gone along here. Has the puck a lot, likes to keep it, sometimes a little bit too long, but at the same time, he can make high-end plays.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hunter Brzustewicz scored his first NHL goal for the Flames (21-25-6), who went 1-2-2 on a five-game homestand.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-149871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
