PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Niklas Hagman and Rene Borque scored shootout goals to lift the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday.
The Flyers could’ve won the game in overtime, but Mike Richards’ apparent goal — a slapshot past Miikka Kiprusoff — was waved off because of an unsportsmanlike conduct call against defenseman Chris Pronger. Officials ruled that Pronger obstructed Kiprusoff’s view with his glove.
The crowd didn’t appreciate the call and booed vociferously.
Flyers left wing Ville Leino was held by Mark Giordano at 2:17 in overtime, giving Philadelphia a power-play opportunity in the bonus period. Claude Giroux had scored for Philadelphia during the shootout, but Kiprusoff turned away Danny Briere and Richards.
Hagman and Borque both beat Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky with wrist shots.
