Sean Monahan scores shootout winner, Flames beat Wild 3-2
CALGARY — Sean Monahan’s split-second decision led the Calgary Flames to their second straight win.
Monahan outwaited Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk before snapping a shot over his right pad for the shootout winner as Calgary edged the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on Friday.
“I had no idea what I was doing, to be honest,” admitted Monahan. “I thought I was going to come in and go high blocker, but it wasn’t there. He’s pretty tall, so I just tried a little move and lucky enough something opened up.”
Calgary goalie Chad Johnson then stopped Charlie Coyle’s attempt at the other end of the ice to seal the victory.
