Monahan scores winner, Flames beat Blackhawks in overtime to snap losing skid
CALGARY — Nobody has scored more overtime goals than Calgary’s Sean Monahan since he entered the NHL in 2013.
Monahan’s latest came Saturday night when he scored 59 seconds into extra time to give the Flames a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, snapping a six-game winless skid.
TJ Brodie waited patiently before dropping the puck into the slot for Monahan, who made no mistake burying his team-leading 24th of the season past Jeff Glass on the blocker side.
“When you’re out there with guys like Johnny (Gaudreau) and (Brodie) and you find yourself open, you’re going to get the puck,” said Monahan, whose 10 overtime goals in his four-plus seasons equals Alexander Ovechkin. “The goalie had my number all night so I was happy to put one by him.”
