CALGARY — Matt Coronato scored twice, including an empty-netter with 39 seconds left in the third period, to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 victory on Tuesday over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Andrei Kuzmenko, with his first of the season on the power play, also scored for Calgary , which matches its fastest start in franchise history. The Flames also opened up with four consecutive wins in 2009-10 and 1993-94.Flames goalie Dustin Wolf made 31 stops to improve to 2-0. Petr Mrazek, who was tested 25 times, falls to 1-2.Blackhawks: The visitors had several chances to break a 1-1 tie as they outshot the hosts 7-1 to begin the second period, but they couldn't solve Wolf.
Flames: The fourth line continues to be a surprise source of offence. After Justin Kirkland, filling in for Kevin Rooney , scored his first NHL goal on Saturday, the 28-year-old picked up his first NHL assist on Coronato's first goal. Ryan Lomberg is manning the left side of that trio.
