Kadri's goals lead Flames in playoff chase

Nazem Kadri scored a key overtime goal to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night. Kadri’s first goal of the game tied it at 2-2 in the third period, and his second secured the win. This was the Flames’ fourth straight comeback victory. Teammate Blake Coleman praised Kadri's ability to perform under pressure. "Some guys just have that clutch gene," he said. Rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf made a crucial save just before Kadri’s winning goal, keeping the game alive for Calgary. Kadri expressed relief after scoring, noting that the ice conditions were challenging. "I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a little bit concerned," he admitted. Coach Ryan Huska also highlighted Kadri's composure during critical moments. The game saw wild back-and-forth scoring, culminating with Calgary's Rasmus Andersson briefly taking the lead before Jordan Eberle tied it for Seattle. Kadri's goal marked his 28th of the season and his 300th career goal in the NHL. Calgary is currently chasing a playoff spot, trailing the St. Louis Blues by four points. With three games in hand, the team feels a sense of urgency. Wolf stated, "It’s a super tight race," emphasizing the need to keep pushing forward. Kadri's performance continues to be a vital part of the Flames' playoff hopes.
