Rasmus Andersson and Mikael Backlund enjoyed the company of Elias Lindholm. The Swedes were tight when they all played together for the Calgary Flames.

But Thursday night, Lindholm was the enemy. And he got the best of his compatriots and his former Flames team to lock down a 4-3 victory in overtime for his Boston Bruins.

It spoiled another Flames comeback, although the visitors managed to salvage a point with another strong third period – their resilient trademark this year.

Lindholm won a battle for the puck behind the net, stealing it from Andersson. He fed Brad Marchand in the slot and the Bruins captain fired two shots at Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf as Backlund tried to control him.

Game over.

But otherwise for Wolf’s excellent piece in the second half of his first back-to-back starts of the young season, the Calgary Flames likely would have lost this game in regulation.

Things nearly got derailed in the second period, but Wolf, 23, was sharp, making a baker’s dozen on 13 of his 34 saves on the night in a third that saw the Bruins take a 3-1 lead.

Wolf was essential to the comeback in the third period, which earned them an important point on the road trip in early November which will then stop in Buffalo. Yegor Sharangovich scored on a power play early in the third period with Marchand in the box, then Nazem Kadri scored the tying goal about halfway through the game to set up the Swedish showdown at the end.

The Calgary Flames goaltender was also exceptional in overtime. He made the first save against Marchand in the final seconds, but was unable to make another one.

It’s the fault of his teammates, who were simply beaten during the reunion.
