Andrew Mangiapane's Friday Night Goal Not Enough for Flames Win
Flames Fall to Wild Despite Mangiapane's Impressive Performance
Andrew Mangiapane scored a goal in Friday's game against the Minnesota Wild, but it wasn't enough to secure a win for the Calgary Flames. The Wild ultimately defeated the Flames 3-2, handing them their third loss in a row.
Mangiapane Continues to Shine Despite Flames' Struggles
Despite the Flames' recent struggles, Mangiapane has been a bright spot for the team. The 26-year-old winger has now scored four goals in his last five games and has become a key contributor to the Flames' offense.
Mangiapane's goal on Friday night came in the second period, tying the game at 1-1. The Flames were unable to build on his momentum, however, as the Wild scored two unanswered goals in the third period to take the lead.
Flames Look to Bounce Back Against Oilers
The Flames will have a chance to bounce back on Saturday night when they host the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are currently one point ahead of the Flames in the standings, so a win would be crucial for Calgary's playoff hopes.
Mangiapane will likely be a key player for the Flames once again on Saturday night. The winger has been one of the team's most consistent performers this season, and he will need to continue to produce if the Flames want to turn their season around.
