NHL News: Flames get past Canucks, continue strong home form

Nazem Kadri scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and an assist to lead the host Calgary Flames to a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.

Connor Zary also scored for Calgary, which won for the 13th time in 20 home games (13-4-3) and 4-1-2 in its past seven games overall. Flames goalie Dustin Wolf made 23 saves to improve to 10-1-1 at home this season.

Brock Boeser scored and Kevin Lankinen finished with 26 saves for Vancouver, which took its fifth loss in the past six games (1-2-3).

Three minutes after the Canucks tied the game 1-1, Kadri scored at 9:18 of the third. His wrist shot from the edge of the left circle got past Lankinen’s blocker side after a crossing pass from Huberdeau.

The Canucks pulled Lankinen with 1:50 left for an extra attacker, and Huberdeau sealed the win by producing an empty-net goal from center ice with 1:02 to go.

Calgary took a 1-0 lead at the 14:31 mark of the first period. Jakob Pelletier broke in on a breakaway that Lankinen stopped, but Yegor Sharangovich picked up the rebound and then passed to Zary driving into the crease, where he shoveled a shot into a vacated net.

Things got chippy during a hard-hitting second period that saw three fights resulting in six majors, including a pair by Flames forward Ryan Lomberg, as well as a handful of other skirmishes. At one time Vancouver had five players in the penalty box, but the Canucks’ penalty kill came up big, including killing off more than a minute a two-man five-on-three advantage for Calgary.

Vancouver tied it 1-1 at 6:15 of the third period on a power-play goal by Boeser. He redirected a shot from the left point by J.T. Miller inside the far right post.
