Calgary, Alberta On Tuesday evening, the Calgary Flames defeated the Nashville Predators 4-2 thanks to three goals in the third period and the game-winning goal from Blake Coleman.
Calgary (4-7-1) is up after three straight victories following a loss in the last round of play. Three goals were scored past the goalie: Dillon Dube, Noah Hanifin, and Nazem Kadri.
Michael McCarron and Kiefer Sherwood were the Predators’ top scorers (5-7-0), with three losses in their last four games.
Using 17 stops, Jacob Markstrom ended a seven-game losing streak. That was the first game of the season that he has lost when starting in goal for Calgary.

After trailing 2-1 at the interval, Calgary levelled the score at 4:45 in the third.
