In Calgary, Patrick Kane collected four points with two goals in a 5-3 Chicago Blackhawks win over the Flames.
“I think you’ve got to play on good teams, you’ve got to play with good players, you’ve obviously got to be healthy, got to be consistent,” Kane said. “It’s been a fun 10 years. Looking forward to seeing what the next decade brings you.”
Kane has 802 points since January 1, 2010.
Robin Lehner made 41 saves to get the win.
“We’ve got to keep climbing,” Lehner said. “I think we’re above .500 now for the first time in a while. [Forget] the negatives here; learn a little bit from them, but keep building on the positives because we just have to keep trying to get better and keep climbing in the standings. We want to make the playoffs. We’ve just got to keep learning.”
Michael Frolik, Sean Monahan and Sam Bennett scored for the Flames.
“There were a couple around it,” Matthew Tkachuk said. “I had one off a rebound from [Bennett], I had one on a tip, and then the one at the end, I don’t know how the puck bounces like that, that high, when the puck wasn’t even that high. I think it hit his shoulder and it popped out.”
Dylan Strome, Alex DeBrincat and Olli Maatta added single markers in the win.
“We knew they were going to have a push,” Kane said. “Just have to find a way to tighten up in those situations and make sure we make the simple plays to make it easy on ourselves. The important thing is we got the win. You can learn from certain situations when [you’re] winning, which is a good thing.”

David Rittich made 28 saves in the loss.
“We come out with the right mindset, but the last couple games, we let them get those early ones and they got one on their power play again tonight,” Giordano said. “We’ve got to do a better job. Down three, four goals in this league, although we made a good push, it’s a tough mountain to climb.”
