CALGARY, Alberta - Roman Hamrlik led the way for Calgary with a goal and an assist Tuesday night, when the Flames scored three times on the power play and once short-handed in a 6-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes.
Chuck Kobasew, Kristian Huselius, Tony Amonte, Jarome Iginla and Marcus Nilson also scored for the Flames, who also got a pair of assists from Daymond Langkow in halting a three-game losing streak.
Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 26 shots to improve to 3-4-1. Last year’s Vezina Trophy and Jennings Trophy winner has played all eight games for Calgary this season.
Owen Nolan scored for the Coyotes (2-8-0), who have now lost four straight and are in last place in the Western Conference.
The Flames killed off three first-period power-play opportunities for Phoenix, including a two-man advantage that lasted 42 seconds. Kiprusoff made a pair of nice saves off point shots fired by defenseman Ed Jovanovski to keep the game scoreless.
Calgary opened the scoring on a two-man advantage when Kobasew took a pass from Jamie Lundmark and quickly shoveled the puck past Phoenix netminder Mike Morrison with just more than five minutes to play in the first period.
Just 65 seconds later, Huselius scored his first of the season on another power play when he kicked the puck onto his stick and swatted it past Morrison.
Nolan replied for Phoenix at the end of the period when he backhanded a shot over Kiprusoff’s shoulder and into the top corner.
Amonte scored short-handed in the second period when he pounced on a turnover in the neutral zone and sped into the Phoenix territory before sending a wrist shot past Morrison, who was subsequently replaced in goal by Curtis Joseph.
Iginla opened scoring in the third with a perfect shot into the top corner past Joseph. Nilson’s goal followed when he converted a feed from Lombardi to make the score 5-1. Hamrlik rounded out the scoring with his first goal of the season on another Calgary man advantage.
Daymond Langkow had a great chance to add to Calgary’s lead, but his penalty shot attempt in the third hit the left post behind.
The Flames finished 3-for-10 on the man advantage, while the Coyotes failed to score on nine power-play opportunities.
Notes: Kiprusoff started the last season 2-4-1 as well before he backstopped the Flames to a 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on home ice on Oct. 20, 2005. He went on to win eight games in a row and finished the season with a 42-10-11 record and 2.07 goals-against average. … Phoenix center Mike Zigomanis, who has won 59.6 percent of his faceoffs to rank third in the NHL so far this season, missed the game with a groin injury from a loss Monday to Edmonton. … The Flames improved their all-time record over the Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets franchise to 66-57-22.
