New York. Toronto has added a lot of star power lately, but the old guys are fine.
Kali Jarnkrock, for example, clinched the team’s away game against Calgary.
The score between the Flames and the Maple Leafs was 1-1 when, early in the third period, Calle Järnkrok appeared in front of the penalty area and somehow pushed his friend Jacob Markström’s rebound.
And so it was decided, because the visitors then effectively closed the match.
– Yes, our defense was excellent, said coach Sheldon Cave.
– In general, I think the third period was our best in the whole season.
Erik Gustafsson, who was brought to him by the Blue and White Leafs from Washington on Tuesday, had to play in place of compatriot Timothy Lillegren, and although he was only on the ice for ten minutes, he could only make an impression on his new teammates. Like Luke Shin.
“We’ve brought in some really big guys who want to help us achieve big things,” says star Mitch Marner.
For Calgary, increasingly dark clouds are gathering on the horizon. After tonight’s loss, they hold a five-point lead over Winnipeg in the last spot of the cards in the West – and played one more game.
For someone like Jacob Markstrom, it should be a little consolation that coach Daryl Sutter thought he was the best player on the ice last night.
– Again we were close, but so it seemed for a long time. He says it’s frustrating that we don’t get any points.
William Nylander assisted on Yarnkrok’s goal.
