It was the type of pass Flames fans expected plenty of when the coach opened the season anointing Jonathan Huberdeau “the best passer this team has had in, maybe, ever.”

Spotting Tyler Toffoli streaking down the middle of the ice as the final 10 seconds of a see-saw battle unfolded on Monday, Huberdeau made a world-class pass between two defenders that sprung the team's leading goal scorer for a solo sprint he finished brilliantly with 6.2 seconds left.

Converting the breakaway with a top-shelf beauty over Jake Oettinger’s glove, Toffoli kick-started an animated celebration the Calgary Flames hope will carry over in Minneapolis Tuesday ... and beyond.

Despite coughing up a pair of two-goal leads, a dramatic 5-4 win over the host Dallas Stars should do well to erase the horrible taste the Flames’ fifth straight loss left Saturday when they were booed off the ice.

More importantly, it erased two points from what is now a five-point deficit between Calgary and the Colorado Avalanche, who sit in the West's final wild-card position.
