CALGARY, Alberta (AP) --- Matt Coronato extended his point streak to five games
with a goal and two assists as the Calgary Flames scored four times in the
second period in a 7-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
Morgan Frost also had a goal and two assists for Calgary. Joel Farabee, Ryan
Strome, Olli Maatta, Zayne Parekh and Adam Klapka rounded out the scoring. The
Flames finished 5-0-1 on their six-game homestand.
Liam Ohgren, Jake DeBrusk and Nils Hoglander scored for Vancouver. The
last-place Canucks have lost five straight.
Getting the start for Calgary, Dustin Wolf had 31 stops to win his third
straight.
For the Canucks, Nikita Tolopilo was beaten four times on 11 shots before
getting pulled early in the second. Kevin Lankinen gave up three goals on 12
shots in relief.
The Flames entered the game as the league's lowest-scoring team, averaging 2.47
