Mikael Backlund scored on a delayed penalty call in overtime, lifting the late-charging Calgary Flames over the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Tuesday night. Johnny Gaudreau scored with 19.5 seconds left in the third period to tie the game for the Flames, who had an apparent goal disallowed minutes earlier. On the delayed Ducks penalty and with Flames goaltender Karri Ramo pulled for an extra attacker, Backlund's shot from the blue line through traffic beat Frederik Andersen at 4:24 of overtime. Joe Colborne had a short-handed goal for Calgary, while Brandon Bollig also connected.
