Smith makes 43 saves, Giordano scores in OT to lift Flames over Penguins
CALGARY — It was another strong performance from Mike Smith on Thursday night.
Smith made 43 saves and Mark Giordano scored at 2:19 of overtime as the Calgary Flames beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1.
