Just when the Calgary Flames thought they were done, Johnny Hockey saved the day.

Gaudreau's goal came minutes after a nearly backbreaking moment for Calgary. The Flames thought they tied the game with 6:17 remaining in the third period when Sam Bennett's shot appeared to cross the goal line, but officials did not rule the play a goal on the ice and video review was deemed inconclusive.

The Flames won the game in overtime, 4-3, in typical Calgary fashion, with Mikael Backlund scoring the winner. They're back in the series, trailing 2-1 with another game on home ice coming up.
