Flames 3, Coyotes 0
Jiri Hudler extended his goal-scoring streak to four games with a power-play tally and added two assists while Karri Ramo posted his second straight shutout as visiting Calgary recorded its sixth win in eight contests.
Johnny Gaudreau notched a goal and an assist, defenseman TJ Brodie also scored and Sean Monahan notched an assist in his 100th NHL game for the Flames, who completed a 2-1-0 road trip. Ramo, who has stopped 63 shots during his 134:34 scoreless streak, made 15 of his 26 saves in the second period en route to his fourth career shutout after having blanked San Jose on Wednesday.
Devan Dubnyk also turned aside 26 shots for the Coyotes, who failed to earn a point for just the third time in eight contests. Dubnyk had his four-game winning streak snapped as he suffered his first regulation loss of the season (5-1-1).
After a scoreless first period, Calgary got on the board early in the second. Hudler made a cross-slot pass from the left faceoff circle during a 2-on-1 rush to Brodie, who one-timed the puck past Dubnyk at 4:34 for his sixth goal.
The Flames doubled the lead 4:07 into the third as Gaudreau raced down the right wing and beat Dubnyk to the stick side from the faceoff circle. Hudler capped the scoring at 7:13, backhanding a bouncing puck in front off Arizona defenseman Zbynek Michalek's leg and into the net.
