Calgary dented the scoreboard in the third period with a Sean Monahan power play goal, his fifth of the season, powered by Elias Lindholm and Mark Giordano. The Flames added on with a Lindholm goal, his eighth of the year, via Johnny Gaudreau and Monahan. Toronto got on the board with a Nazem Kadri power play goal, his third of the season, with helpers from Mitchell Marner and Morgan Rielly.

Out west, the Vancouver Canucks host the Minnesota Wild. Devan Dubnyk and Jacob Markstrom man the nets. Vancouver kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Markus Granlund goal, his second of the season, fueled by Bo Horvat. Minnesota tied it on a Jordan Greenway goal, passed from Jared Spurgeon and Charlie Coyle.
