Yegor Sharangovich collected one goal and one
assist, while MacKenzie Weegar and Noah Hanifin each scored for
the Flames, who have lost three straight games. Goalie Jacob
Markstrom, who returned to the lineup after missing three games
due to injury, stopped 22 shots.
With overtime looming, Saad was on a rush and rifled a
glove-side shot inside the far post for his 13th goal of the
season with 48 seconds remaining. The Blues have won two
straight, this one with an impressive road comeback.
The hosts held a 3-1 lead but the Blues clawed back, starting
with Schenn's first career short-handed goal, a breakaway tally
for his 11th of the season that made it a one-goal game with
2:47 remaining in the second period.
Kyrou tied the clash at 6:56 of the third period when he worked
to the slot and found the net with a long shot for his 13th of
the season, which set the stage for Saad's late heroics.
The Flames, who have one win in four outings to kick off a
crucial six-game homestand, were in a good position to end their
slide.
Weegar opened the scoring at the 11:38 mark of the game when he
worked from his point position to the left face-off dot and
ripped a short-side, top-corner offering for his 11th goal of
the season.
Saad tied the score at 8:27 of the second period with a
short-side shot of his own.
The Flames responded shortly after with a pair of goals 64
seconds apart. Hanifin notched his eighth goal of the campaign
with a one-timer from the left face-off dot. Then Sharangovich
made it a 3-1 game by shooting on an odd-man rush for his 20th
of the season.
