Tuesday, October 15th, 2024

In Calgary's matchup, Matt Coronato scored twice, and Dustin Wolf made 31 saves, helping the Flames clinch a 3-1 victory over the Blackhawks on Tuesday night. This win keeps Calgary's record unblemished at 4-0.

Andrei Kuzmenko also found the back of the net for Calgary, marking the first time since the 1993-94 season that they have started 4-0. Nick Foligno was the goal scorer for Chicago, and Petr Mrazek faced 23 shots on goal.

Despite the Blackhawks outshooting the Flames 7-1 in the second period, they couldn't break the 1-1 tie. Wolf's crucial saves included stopping Joey Anderson on a short-handed breakaway and a pad save on Teuvo Teravainen's one-timer.

Calgary's fourth line continued to perform well, with Justin Kirkland assisting on Coronato's initial goal, and Ryan Lomberg playing a role on the left wing.

A pivotal moment occurred in the second period when Connor Bedard incurred a slashing penalty, allowing Calgary a 6-on-4 power play. Kuzmenko redirected Jonathan Huberdeau's point shot, giving the Flames the lead.

Connor Zary has accumulated five points this season, earning a point in every game so far. Rasmus Andersson tops all NHL defensemen with his six points.

The Blackhawks will next play at home against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, while the Flames are set to visit the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.
