Matthew Tkachuk scored three goals to set a career-high in a season with 37, and the Calgary Flames came back for a 5-3 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday.
Noah Hanifin, with a goal and an assist, and Andrew Mangiapane also scored for Calgary (45-19-9), which scored four unanswered goals in the third period to earn their fifth win in a row.
Johnny Gaudreau had two assists and set a career-high with 101 points.
Ryan Donato, with his career-high 15th goal, Victor Rask and Adam Larsson scored for Seattle (23-44-6), which was swept in the four-game season series.
The Kraken return home after Wednesday’s game in Winnipeg was postponed due to a winter storm. Seattle returns to action on Saturday when they play host to the New Jersey Devils.
Dan Vladar (11-5-1) started the third period in goal and stopped all seven shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom to pick up the win. His best stop was a blocker save on Karson Kuhlman on a shorthanded breakaway that would have made it 4-2.
