      Ducks at Flames | Recap

      CALGARY -- Matt Coronato had two goals and an assist, and the Calgary Flames pulled away for a 4-1 win against the Anaheim Ducks at Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday.

      "We knew coming in -- really every day and every game at this point of the year -- is so important," Coronato said. "Can't take any day for granted. We definitely came in focused and knowing that, and I'm happy for the result."

          ANA@CGY: Coronato increases Flames' lead in 3rd period

          Blake Coleman had a goal and an assist, and Adam Klapka also scored for the Flames (25-18-7), who had lost two in a row after winning three straight. Dustin Wolf made 31 saves.

          Frank Vatrano scored a short-handed goal, and John Gibson made 26 saves for the Ducks (21-24-6), who had a three-game winning streak end.

          "You've got to win every game regardless (of) whether you're chasing or not," Vatrano said. "It's the NHL. Every night's going to be a hard game. We know they're a team in front of us and the points are a little more important, but you have to win every game."

              ANA@CGY: Vatrano kicks off scoring with SHG in opening period

              Vatrano scored on the penalty kill to give Anaheim a 1-0 lead at 11:54 of the first period. Rasmus Andersson turned the puck over at the offensive blue line, and Vatrano beat Wolf with a wrist shot over the glove from inside the left face-off circle on the rush.

              Klapka scored 15 seconds into the second period to tie it 1-1, skating around Brian Dumoulin before beating Gibson backhand around his right pad for his first goal of the season.

              Coleman gave Calgary a 2-1 lead at 19:16 when Coronato’s shot deflected off him and in.

              "I think just coming in between periods... we have a lot of guys that are vocal and great leadership," Coronato said. "I think those older guys did a great job kind of getting everyone going."

              Wolf made five saves in 23 seconds in the third period, including on a one-timer by Jansen Harkins to end the sequence at 6:26 and keep the Flames ahead.

              "We just couldn't keep it going," Ducks defenseman Jackson LaCombe said. "We just didn't have our right legs. We couldn't keep it going."

                  ANA@CGY: Coleman scores goal against John Gibson

                  Coronato extended it to 3-1 at 16:10, pulling the puck forehand at the edge of the crease and sliding it by Gibson's left pad after the goaltender misplayed a dump-in.

                  Coronato scored again 1:27 later at 17:37 with an empty-net goal from his own zone for the 4-1 final.

                  "I think he's evolved, for sure," Flames forward Nazem Kadri said of Coronato. "There comes a crossroad in a young player's career where you go this way or that way, and Matt's certainly gone the right way."

                  NOTES: Following the game, the Flames traded Andrei Kuzmenko to the Philadelphia Flyers for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee. Philadelphia also acquired Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a seventh-round pick in the 2028 Draft. … Anaheim forward Mason McTavish had an NHL career-high four-game goal streak end (six goals). … Vatrano (175 goals, 125 assists) became the sixth active undrafted player to reach 300 career points behind Artemi Panarin (833), Mats Zuccarello (672), Jonathan Marchessault (525), Torey Krug (483) and Yanni Gourde (332).
