The Calgary Flames are one win away from advancing to the second round of the NHL playoffs for the first time in over a decade.
Jiri Hudler led Calgary with a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. Calgary leads their best-of-seven Western Conference quarter-final three games to one.
Calgary’s Johnny Gaudreau scored his first playoff goal and 18-year-old rookie Sam Bennett his second in as many games.
Dennis Wideman contributed a pair of assists for the Flames, who split the first two games of the series in Vancouver before back-to-back wins at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Flames head to Vancouver with the chance to win the series in Thursday’s Game 5 and move past the first round for the first time since 2004.
A Game 6, if necessary, will be Saturday in Calgary and a Game 7 would be Monday back in Vancouver.
