Pettersson forces late tie and adds shootout goal in Canucks' 4-3 victory over Flames

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Elias Pettersson tied it with 6:44 left and scored in the first round of a shootout, Conor Garland added the winner in the fourth round and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Pius Suter and Jake DeBrusk also scored for Vancouver, and Kevin Lankinen stopped 20 shots. Playing their lone road game in an eight-game stretch, the Canucks rebounded from consecutive home losses — the last a 4-2 setback against Montreal on Tuesday night.

Huberdeau tied it at 2 with a short-handed goal with 6:02 left in the second, then put the Flames on top with a power-play goal. He has 24 goals this season.

Suter opened the scoring for Vancouver with 6:27 left in the first period. Kadri tied it with 2:07 to go in the period. DeBrusk put Vancouver back in front on a power play with 9:28 to go in the second. Huberdeau tied it 4 1/2 minutes later.
