Olofsson made it 2-0 at 10:10. Adam Klapka sent a pass from below the goal line to Olofsson, who buried a slap shot from the left circle to the glove side.
“He’s been great,” Frost said of Olofsson. “Such a nice guy, kind of quiet, and I think he’s a big addition. To see some of the chances he had on the power play today, where the goalie is just getting a toe on it, he’s got a bomb. I think everyone’s enjoyed having him around, and nice to see him get rewarded.”
Greer cut the deficit to 2-1 at 4:17 of the third period with a wrist shot from the left circle over Wolf’s glove.
Calgary forward Connor Zary left the game at 11:14 after being hooked and then pushed headfirst into the boards by Greer, who was given a minor penalty for hooking, a five-minute major for interference and a 10-minute game misconduct.
“He’s moving around,” Flames coach Ryan Huska said of Zary after the game. “He’s fine and all that stuff, but I don’t really have a real indication of what it is yet.”
Mikkola left the game at 12:49 after a knee-on-knee collision with Calgary forward Ryan Strome. He was helped off the ice by a trainer and teammate Eetu Luostarinen, putting minimal weight on his left leg.
“He plays so hard for us every night, competes so hard,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. “He’s been incredibly durable for us. We’re in a tough one right now, so you need those veteran guys around and playing and leading. He’s been a dominant man for us all year with the injuries we’ve had. He’s played great for us, so we’re going to miss him. He’s going to miss some time, I believe.”
Frost made it 3-1 during a 5-on-3 power play at 16:59, backhanding a loose puck over a sprawling Tarasov from the top of the crease.
