CALGARY -- Mikael Backlund scored the game-winner 1:12 into overtime to help the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 win against the Nashville Predators at Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday.
Johnny Gaudreau had two goals and an assist, and Joni Ortio made 24 saves for Calgary (28-34-5), which is 2-0-1 in its past three games following a seven-game losing streak.
"I don't really know what the standings are right now. I haven't really checked them out," Gaudreau said. "We have to play our hardest every single game. There are a lot of expectations in this locker room to finish the season out strong, get a good summer in and be ready for next year."
