Four 3^rd period goals, including an empty netter inside the last minute, helped Flames kick off their 26-27 League table assault with a 7-4 home win over Sheffield Steelers.

The clubs exchanged goals in the opening 10 minutes with Steelers taking a lead on the back of a Sean Collins marker at 5:57 but Jake Willets replied 91 seconds later to level at one apiece.  The tie score made it to the late stages until Evan Jasper secured a lead at 15:26, but another quick reply, oddly within the exact same time gap as the previous answer, this one by Karl Boudrias, had the clubs sharing an even spread of 4 goals at the close of the frame.   

At 27:31, Brandon Whistle nudged Steelers in front for a 3^rd time, but the answer back pattern continued with Matt Alvaro knotting it again when he squared it at 29:27.

Early in the 3^rd, Cole Sanford’s go ahead goal survived video review.  The fast reply this time went the other way with Brien Diffly hitting back to make it 4 each, but back to back goals by Chase Gresock in the 47^th and 49^th minutes, the latter on a powerplay, set Flames out to a multi goal difference they would not give up before Brett Neumann closed out the contest when he sent the puck into the empty cage 20 seconds from time.
