Player Notes

Eric Francis: Calgary Flames coach Geoff Ward on Matthew Tkachuk: “He’s day by day. We’re hoping he’ll be back for Game 4.”
- Kristen Anderson: Ward on not having Tkachuk last night: “It’s unfortunate we don’t have (Tkachuk) and it’s a huge hole in our lineup but it’s an opportunity for other guys. I thought the guys came in tonight did a really good job.”
