Wolf wins the goalie duel

Wolf played all 60 minutes for Calgary. His 26 saves on 27 shots gave him a .963 save percentage and the win. Yaroslav Askarov stopped 20 of 22 shots for San Jose, a .909 save percentage, in 58 minutes 13 seconds, and he took the loss.

The duel shaped the whole night. San Jose put more shots on goal, 27 to 22, and still scored only once. Calgary blocked 20 shots, against 8 blocks for San Jose, so many San Jose attempts never reached Wolf at all. The blocked shots and the saves together explain how Calgary won a game in which it was outshot and lost most faceoffs.

Calgary holds the last minute

Macklin Celebrini, the San Jose captain, was held without a point in 22 minutes 56 seconds, with 2 shots. His late third period wrist shot at 0:35 was saved by Wolf. Shots by Will Smith and Jacob Trouba in the final 30 seconds were blocked by Joel Farabee, and Calgary closed out the win.

San Jose won 62.1 percent of the faceoffs, 36 to 22, and San Jose had 22 hits against 21 for Calgary. Those numbers gave San Jose the puck and the physical edge for long stretches, but the scoreboard never moved past one goal for the home team.

Calgary entered the game at 6-8-0 and improved to 7-8-0, with 14 points. San Jose entered at 7-7-1 and fell to 7-8-1, with 15 points. Calgary scored first, protected the lead through a scoreless second period for both teams, traded third period goals with San Jose, and then survived the last minute with its goalie and its shot blockers doing the final work.
