GLENDALE, Ariz (AP) — Christopher Tanev scored the go-ahead goal and had three assists, Blake Coleman scored twice and the Calgary Flames beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-2 on Wednesday night for their fifth win in six games.
Elias Lindholm also scored, and Jacob Markstrom had 24 saves for Calgary, which had 50 shots on goal. The Flames have won three straight.
“Three big wins in a row, back-to-back against two good teams,” Tanev said. “We have to parlay that into the home games when we get home” after the All-Star break.
Coleman opened the scoring three minutes into the game and added his second score for a 4-2 lead with eight minutes remaining.
“I thought it was a pretty good effort all around, and obviously it was good to get some personal contributions to the team,” Coleman said.
Clayton Keller and Alex Galchenyuk scored for the Coyotes and goaltender Karel Vejmelka made 46 saves, including a franchise-record 24 in the first period while facing a franchise-record 26 shots.
“I thought we deserved to win,” Calgary coach Darryl Sutter said. “We could have been up four or five in the first period.”
Keller, Arizona’s All-Star, added an assist and extended his points streak to six games, tying a career high. He has three goals and five assists during the streak.
