O'Reilly restored the Nashville lead with his ninth goal of the campaign at the 11:23 mark of the back-and-forth first period. Markstrom failed to prevent the puck from bounding from the end boards to the front of the net, and O'Reilly was on the spot.

Carrier's first of the season at 11:56 of the extended the lead. Nashville's Filip Forsberg caught the puck behind the net and threw it to the front, where it was touched by a defender, negating the hand pass, and Carrier whacked it home. The Flames called for a review, but it was denied.

Parssinen notched a power-play goal with 2:38 remaining in regulation, his third of the season, to make it a three-goal edge.

Sharangovich scored a short-handed tally with 45 seconds remaining to round out the scoring, but it was too little, too late.
