CALGARY -- An ugly goal for the Calgary Flames and goaltender Reto Berra was a
thing of beauty for the desperate Edmonton Oilers.
Justin Smoak Jersey . From near the corner
and below the goal line, David Perron flung the puck towards the net, banking it
off Berras shoulder and in for the go-ahead goal as Edmonton snapped a five-game
losing streak Saturday night with a 4-2 come-from-behind victory over the
Calgary Flames. Boyd Gordon capped the scoring into an empty net as the Oilers
stormed back with four unanswered goals in the third period to steal the first
of five meetings between the provincial rivals. "Id be kidding if I said I knew
I would score but I saw a little bit of room, I put it there and it was in the
net so it felt good," said Perron. Just over two minutes earlier, the Oilers
tied the game 2-2 on another strange one. Sam Gagners shot deflected off Flames
defenceman Dennis Wideman and fluttered high in the air. While Berra couldnt
find it, Ales Hemsky batted it in from out of mid-air for his first goal in 12
games. Edmonton started its comeback at 3:41 when Jordan Eberle, who was
uncovered in the slot, took a drop pass from Taylor Hall and ripped a shot over
Berras blocker. The three-goal barrage happened in a span of 6:42 and came on
four shots. "We gave them two goals out of three," said Flames coach Bob
Hartley, visibly unhappy. "After 40 minutes, I felt that we gave them nothing.
We were playing our style. Then, their first goal and third goal, theres only
one word for those two goals - awful." Edmonton (5-15-2), which began the night
in last place in the NHL, won for just the second time in its last 12 (2-9-1).
Sean Monahan and Wideman scored for Calgary (6-11-3). The Flames are winless in
their last six, and are 0-4-1 in their last five games at the Scotiabank
Saddledome. "We have a lot of pressure on us from our team itself, from the
organization, from the fans, they expect us to win and when youre not winning,
it kills the confidence on your team," said Eberle. "You start making plays that
youre not used to making, you start squeezing the stick and you start not
playing as a team." Eberle himself had been in a lengthy slump with just one
goal in his previous 12 games. "Momentum is a huge thing in this game. When
things arent going, you sometimes get pissed off and try to do things yourself
and thats when things start breaking down even more," said Eberle. "So when you
finally get rewarded and get some confidence, were going to use that." Oilers
coach Dallas Eakins says the smallest of things can turn around a teams fortunes
and he hopes this result will provide that boost for his team. He used
Philadelphias recent 3-0-1 run as an example. "We were in a close game with
them. We end up losing the game, they had been on the down and out and it seemed
like every time I look at the scoreboard lately, theyve been winning," Eakins
said. "When you get that winning feeling again, its contagious. Just like when
you have that losing feeling, its contagious too." The first of five meetings
between the provincial rivals featured the teams ranked 13th and 14th in the
Western Conference. The Flames remain three points up on Oilers, although they
are 12 points back of a playoff spot. "Great start. In the first two periods, I
thought we were the better team. Then, in 10 or 12 minutes, we lost the game, so
thats really disappointing and nobody in this locker-room can be happy," said
former Oilers defenceman Ladislav Smid. "We have to learn how to finish those
kind of games. We knew they have lots of talent over there. We should have just
played the same game for 60 minutes, no matter what happened." Devan Dubnyk had
a great night for the Oilers making 33 saves to improve to 4-10-1. It comes on
the same night that newly signed Ilya Bryzgalov picked up a win in his second
AHL conditioning start, allowing only one goal in Oklahoma Citys 4-1 victory
over Abbotsford. Making his sixth start in the last seven games, Berra had 19
saves to fall to 1-4-1. Calgary took a 2-0 lead at 17:08 of the second period on
a rocket off the stick of Wideman. Dubnyk never saw it as he was screened on the
play by Lee Stempniak. Sean Monahan gave the Flames a 1-0 lead at 12:23. It was
the first goal in seven games for Calgarys 2013 first round draft pick and just
his second in the last 12 after he started the season with six in his first
eight. It also marked the first time Calgary held a lead after the first period
in three weeks. In the previous eight games, the Flames had been outscored 11-1
in the opening 20 minutes. The game began with a throwback to the old days of
the Battle of Alberta as heavyweights Brian McGrattan and Luke Gazdic squared
off in a lengthy fight that fired up the crowd. Notes: Healthy scratches for
Calgary were RW Tim Jackman and D Sean OBrien... LW Ryan Jones was not in the
line-up for Edmonton... After several years of Calgary domination, Edmonton has
won five of the last seven games between the two teams ... Flames LW TJ Galiardi
hasnt scored in his last 18 games. Also slumping is D TJ Brodie, who has no
points in his last eight games... For Edmonton, Nugent-Hopkins has one goal in
his last 13 games.

Redskins. A message was left with Baileys agent.
