The Buffalo Sabres hosting the Calgary Flames. David Rittich and Chad Johnson are the backups in goal. Calgary started in the first period with a Sam Bennett goal, his tenth of the season, passed from Mark Jankowski and Travis Hamonic. The Flames added on with a Jankowski goal, his twelfth of the year, via Bennett and T.J. Brodie. Calgary extended the lead in the second period as Mark Giordano scored his twelfth of the season, thanks to Micheal Ferland. The Flames chased Johnson on a Sean Monahan goal, his thirtieth of the year, guided in by Johnny Gaudreau and Brodie. Robin Lehner came on in relief. Calgary padded the lead with a Dougie Hamilton power play goal, his fifteenth of the season, powered by Giordano and Gaudreau. Buffalo got on the board in the third period with a Casey Nelson goal, his second of the year, fueled by Jason Pominville and Scott Wilson. This only made it 5-1, the final, with the three stars being Jankowski, Bennett, and Giordano, while Brodie and Gaudreau get the honorable mentions.

The Penguins added on with another Sheary goal, his second of the game and fourteenth of the year, with helpers from Guentzel and Crosby, the latter earning a sock trick. Pittsburgh finished it at 5-2 with a Malkin empty net goal in the third period, his thirty-eighth of the campaign, set up by Carl Hagelin and Riley Sheahan. The three stars went to Crosby, Sheary, and Oleksiak, while Malkin and Guentzel get the honorable mentions.
