Ryan Miller was frustrated Saturday night, but he was not about to quibble.
Chris Tanev‘s goal 34 seconds into overtime gave the Vancouver Canucks a 2-1 victory over Calgary — after Miller had allowed the Flames to tie the game in the dying seconds of regulation time.
"You get that far and you do get frustrated about handing a point back," said Miller, who was outstanding until the tying goal, stopping 35-of-36 shots on the night.
"We stepped up in overtime and got it done. Right now, we needed the win. I try not to dwell too much on the last one."
Tanev converted a 2-on-1 with Daniel Sedin. The goal came after Flames captain Mark Giordano scored with 5.6 seconds left in the third period on a long shot through traffic from the boards to force the extra session.
"I got it up to Danny then I skated as fast as I could," said Tanev, who netted his first goal of the season. "I knew he would get the puck over if I could beat my guy."
The Canucks (26-27-6) moved within four points of the Flames (29-26-4) in the race for second wild card and the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
