Flames fire in thrilling comeback

Down by three goals going into the third period, the Calgary Flames were far from done.

Mark Giordano had a goal and two assists, and Calgary scored five straight times in the third to rally past the Colorado Avalanche 6-5 last night.

With the game tied 4-4, Giordano scored the goahead goal at 13:47 when he jumped up into the rush, took a pass from Mikael Backlund and snapped a shot over the blocker of goaltender Semyon Varlamov. (AP)
