In Calgary, Tristan Jarry made 33 saves for the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-1 win over the Flames on Tuesday night.
Evgeni Malkin picked up his 400th NHL goal in the win.
“We work hard,” Malkin said. “We understand it’s a tough league. Young guys have taken moments and enjoyed being here, and they understand a couple guys had injuries, and they take the chance. We’re not scoring five goals every game, but we’ll win 2-1, 3-2. It’s huge for us.”
Johnny Gaudreau staked the Flames to a 1-0 lead but Calgary could not build off the early strike.
“Tonight was frustrating,” Calgary’s Sean Monahan said. “It was a game where we’ve got to come out there and we’ve got to win. We don’t want to lose two games in a row. Good hockey teams don’t do that.”
John Marino started the Pens rally when he tied the game up.
Bryan Rust, also scored and Kris Letang added an empty-net goal to seal the win.
“I think just coming back in the room and resetting was a big thing for us,” Jarry said. “(Coach) Mike [Sullivan] came in and told us to calm down a little bit and play our game. We went back out in the second (period), I think we played a more structured game, got pucks deep, and hounded them a lot more.”

Cam Talbot made 29 saves in the loss.
“In the second, they capitalized right at the end of that first power play,” Talbot said. “Very next shift, they used that momentum and buried us in our zone. Sometimes, that’s when you need a save there, and that one just goes right through me, kind of six-hole. I just couldn’t squeeze it.”
