Mangiapane leads Flames to improvement victory in Game five
The Flames rallied for a 3-1 victory in Game v of their opening-round playoff series confronting the Dallas Stars
On this night, it might too have been called the C of Staff of life.
Trailing afterward two periods in another boom-biter, the Calgary Flames needed a goal (or 2), needed a improvement, needed a hero.
Andrew Mangiapane delivered.
Mangiapane assisted on the tying tally and roofed the game-winner two shifts afterwards equally the Flames rallied for a 3-1 victory in Game five of their opening-round playoff serial against the Dallas Stars.
Thanks to Midweek'southward come up-from-backside triumph at the Saddledome, the Flames pulled ahead in this best-of-seven battle with the Stars and are off to the Large D with an opportunity to finish off the Stars. Game half-dozen is gear up for Fri at American Airlines Center (seven:30 p.m. MT, Sportsnet/Sportsnet 960 The Fan).
"I was obviously a fiddling happy there," Mangiapane grinned when asked about his become-ahead goal, his first snipe of the series. "But the chore is not washed, obviously. We have to set now for next game."
Between that aw-shucks personality and his relentless work ethic, Mangiapane was already a fan favourite at the Saddledome, although there may be a bunch of No. 88 jerseys flight off the shelves after his tertiary-menstruum bear witness-off in Game 5.
In what was some other goaltending duel, Stars stalwart Jake Oettinger was threatening to push the Pacific Sectionalisation pennant-winners to the brink of elimination.
The Flames finally solved Oettinger seven minutes into the final frame. Blake Coleman managed to draw the attention of both defencemen on a drive to the net and that left Mangiapane to scoop up the loose puck every bit he circled away from the crowd and spied Mikael Backlund for a nifty redirect from the tiptop of the crease.
It was tied for less than four minutes earlier the 26-year-sometime Mangiapane — affectionately known as 'Bread' or 'Eat-Staff of life' — accustomed a slick feed from Backlund every bit he cruised into enemy territory and whistled a wrister just under the cantankerous-bar on the glove-side.
The old befouled probably lost a few bolts as a sellout crowd of xix,289 fans, well-nigh every ane of 'em wearing red, was going absolutely berserk.
"It was loud. It was excited. It was great," Mangiapane said. "Even when Backs scored, you just hear the building erupt. I recall the fans were waiting for a goal, and that was a big goal that Backs scored at that place. Information technology just kind of blew up, and I remember our whole squad just fed off that energy from the fans at that place."
While Mangiapane piled upward 35 goals and 55 points during the regular flavour, the second-line sparkplug had been skunked through iv games of this series.
In fact, just two nights earlier in Dallas, he'd logged the lowest ice fourth dimension of whatever Flames frontwards.
That's all long forgotten now.
"Simply get out in that location and play my game and play with conviction," he shrugged. "I simply wanted to go out there and help the squad win,"
Well, he certainly did that.
"He played a expert, hard game," said Flames demote dominate Darryl Sutter. "That's what's expected of him. It's not what you lot did, it'south what you lot do."

Flames stalwart Markstrom a finalist for Vezina Bays
Trevor Lewis salted Wednesday's win with a late empty-netter, while Jacob Markstrom was again superb in Calgary'southward crease in a twenty-save showing.
Oettinger finished with 29 stops. The 23-year-erstwhile however owns the best save percentage in the 2022 Stanley Loving cup playoffs — Markstrom is second — and the Stars will surely point to his terrific twine-minding as reason to believe they can dig out of this 3-2 serial hole.
The Flames, meanwhile, are shooting to advance to the second circular for the first time since 2015. Sutter warned post-game that the fourth win of a serial is ever the most difficult to come past.
"Information technology feels a lot better than if we were down," Backlund said. "We know information technology'south going to be a actually hard game. Simply, of course, nosotros feel confident and excited going there."
AROUND THE BOARDS
A great line from Backlund on the reaction to his equalizer: "I was screaming my emotions too, and I don't call up anybody heard me" … There were zeroes on the board for 33-plus minutes of Game 5 before Stars forrard Jason Robertson put the get-go ink on the scoresheet. Robertson's shot was actually stopped by Markstrom, but he couldn't fully squeeze it with his glove and the rebound popped out, bounced off blue-liner Noah Hanifin and wound up in the cyberspace … Sutter separate his top trio in Midweek's center frame, giving Coleman a await alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Elias Lindholm and bumping Matthew Tkachuk to the 2nd line. He mixed 'em up farther in the third, with Tyler Toffoli joining Gaudreau and Lindholm and Tkachuk dropped to the third unit. "That line had no pace," Sutter said when asked almost separating his big guns … And then what was said later on 40 minutes, with the locals having just sixteen shots — ditto for Dallas — up to that signal? "A lot of guys stepped upwardly and talked in the room," Backlund said. "The message was clear — put the (second) menstruation behind us and exit and play our game, play the style we tin, believe, just become back to our game and check for our chances. That's when nosotros're at our best, and that'due south what we did in the third" … The lid-play a trick on of Hart Trophy nominees will exist revealed Thursday morning time. Gaudreau certainly made a heck of a case for MVP honours, only you could say the aforementioned nigh Jonathan Huberdeau, Roman Josi, Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid, Igor Shesterkin and perhaps others. There will be a few deserving candidates who don't crack the final three.
OFF THE GLASS
The view from the other side? "They took it to another level and we didn't," said Stars double-decker Rick Bowness, explaining how Game 5 slipped abroad in the 3rd. "We didn't handle information technology very well. We stayed with them for two periods, obviously. They only cranked information technology upwards in the tertiary period and we didn't handle the puck well to give us an opportunity to spend fourth dimension in their zone. Y'all want to handle the puck. You want to manage the puck. Yous desire to spend some fourth dimension in their zone. And we just didn't do that" … Michael Stone remained in the lineup equally the Flames dressed seven defencemen for a 2nd consecutive contest. The seldom-used Stone has been a shooting gallery in his two appearances in these playoffs, putting a dozen pucks on net in just 20 minutes of total of ice time. "I know what my strengths are," Stone told Flames TV at Wednesday'southward morning skate. "That's something I try to primal in and try to create opportunities for us, whether that's off rebounds or screens or tips or any information technology is. I similar to get good forest on the puck, so it felt good to get in there" … Flames fans will exist torn Thursday. Do they cheer for the Edmonton Oilers to stave off elimination, keeping open the possibility of a long-overdue Battle of Alberta playoff series, or would they prefer to encounter their provincial rivals bounced by the Los Angeles Kings?
