Coronato's career-high four points lift Flames past Kraken 6-2
Calgary won its fifth straight game at the Saddledome, bouncing back from a 4-0 loss in Edmonton two nights earlier.
Matt Coronato set a career high with four points, including a goal and three assists, as the Calgary Flames beat the Seattle Kraken 6-2 on Friday night at the Saddledome. Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost and Matvei Gridin each added a goal and an assist, while Aydar Suniev and Ryan Strome also scored for Calgary, which improved to 6-7-0.
The win avenged two earlier 6-1 losses to Seattle in the opening week of the season and extended the Flames' home winning streak to five games. Calgary never trailed and went 2-for-2 on the power play, pushing its success rate with the man advantage to 9-for-20 over the last seven games.
Goaltender Dustin Wolf made his first start since Oct. 15 and stopped 21 shots to move to 2-4-0. Seattle starter Philipp Grubauer was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots, with Joey Daccord finishing in relief. Freddy Gaudreau and Mackie Samoskevich scored for the Kraken, now 8-5-1.
Mikael Backlund picked up an assist on Farabee's goal, giving him 610 career points and sole possession of fifth place on the Flames' all-time scoring list, passing Johnny Gaudreau. The Flames open a road trip Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche, while the Kraken host Calgary again next Wednesday.
