Mar 31, 2025; Denver, Colorado, USA; Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri (91) shoots the puck in the first period against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Ryan Lomberg and Adam Klapka scored 32 seconds apart in the third period, Yegor Sharangovich had the only goal in the shootout and the Calgary Flames rallied to beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 in Denver on Monday night.
Lomberg and Klapka added an assist each and Dan Vladar made 28 saves through overtime and another in the shootout for Calgary (35-26-12, 82 points), which is five points back of the Western Conference’s second wild-card spot.
Cale Makar and Logan O’Connor each netted a goal, Nathan MacKinnon had an assist to stretch his home point streak to 25 games and Scott Wedgewood turned away 25 shots for Colorado.
The Avalanche (45-26-4, 94 points) have dropped two straight.
After a fast-paced overtime, Sharangovich scored on the second chance of the shootout. Vladar made a save on Charlie Coyle before Valeri Nichushkin hit the right post to end it.
The game was scoreless until late in the first period when Colorado broke through. MacKinnon had the puck near the sideboards and sent a pass to Makar as he skated above the circles. Makar deked MacKenzie Weegar as he stickhandled into the slot and wristed a shot by a screened Vladar at 16:31.
It was Makar’s 28th of the season, tying his career high set in 2021-22. He is two goals away from becoming the first defenseman to have 30 goals in a season since Mike Green had 31 for Washington in 2008-09.
The Avalanche added to their lead in the second period. Calgary turned the puck over in its own end, and Parker Kelly sent it to O’Connor in the left circle. O’Connor carried the puck through the slot and slid it just under Vladar’s left skate and inside the post at 7:59.
The Flames got even with two quick ones midway through the third.
Weeger took a shot that trickled through Wedgewood and to the side of the crease. Klapka tipped it to the goal line and Lomberg knocked it in at 10:57 to make it 2-1. Klapka tied it at 11:29 when he skated into the left circle, got a pass from Lomberg and beat Wedgewood with a snap shot.

Hawks’ Kristaps Porziņģis to miss next two weeks with mystery illness, per report
Atlanta Hawks big man Kristaps Porziņģis is expected to be sidelined for the next two weeks as he undergoes further evaluation stemming from an illness he's been dealing with, per ESPN. Porziņģis has already missed six of the team's last seven games due to the illness, and while he's going to miss some more time, the Hawks want to prioritize the long-term of this season, rather than a few more missed games in December.This isn't the first time Porziņģis has dealt with a mysterious illness. During the 2025 NBA playoffs when he was still a member of the Boston Celtics, the Latvian big man struggled with lethargy, saying, "The breathing wasn't good. I did everything I could potentially to feel as good as I could, but my engine wasn't running the way I wanted." He played through the postseason, but […]

A brutal ending: Chiefs eliminated from playoffs by Chargers as Patrick Mahomes exits with injury
Getty Images The Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday were eliminated from playoff contention. Their 10-year streak of making the playoffs is over. Their nine-year streak of winning the AFC West has come to an end. And their streak of making the AFC title game in every year of Patrick Mahomes' career and the Super Bowl in each of the previous three seasons are finished as well.The Chiefs were eliminated by virtue of their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Buffalo Bills' victory over the New England Patriots, the Jacksonville Jaguars' win over the New York Jets and the Houston Texans' win over the Arizona Cardinals. They came into the day with only the slimmest of playoff hopes, but those hopes were dashed as they fell 16-13 in a tightly-contested, defense-dominated game against their division rivals. The loss was Kansas […]
