Seven Up!

What a way to close out the homestand!

The Flames offence poured it on, Morgan Frost and Matt Coronato each had three-point nights, and Calgary finished its six-game run on Scotiabank Saddledome ice with a 7-3 win over the Canucks.

Coronato and Frost each had a marker, while Joel Farabee, Ryan Strome, Olli Määttä, Zayne Parekh and Adam Klapka also lit the lamp.

Parekh's goal - a powerplay beauty - helped him secure his first career NHL multi-point game, while at the other end of the rink, Dustin Wolf stopped 31 shots to earn the victory in goal.

It took three minutes and four seconds for the Flames to open the scoring. Just after the conclusion of a Vancouver penalty, Parekh snapped a puck on goal from the point, the rebound squirted to the left circle for Coronato to pounce, and the winger fired a snapshot past starter Nikita Tolopilo for his 17th tally of the campaign.

Less than two minutes later, Farabee made it 2-0 for the locals, deflecting a Zach Whitecloud shot home after the defender quickly put it to the net from the right point.

Liam Ohgren got one back for the visitors before the period was through, but the one-goal lead was quickly extended once the middle frame got underway.

Strome tipped a Määttä point shot 1:32 into the second to make it 3-1, then Määttä got the last touch to a Strome rebound while battling at the front of the net with defenceman Filip Hronek.

The fourth Calgary goal ended Tolopilo’s night, with Kevin Lankinen assuming the Vancouver goaltending duties from then on, but he surrendered a goal on the first shot he faced when Frost raced down the right wing after claiming a silky saucer pass from Coronato and put a backhand shot through the netminder's legs.

Jake DeBrusk scored for Vancouver on a powerplay before the busy middle stanza was through, but his goal was cancelled out by the prettiest tally of the night by either side. On a Flames powerplay, Coronato sent a waist-high saucer pass across the blue-line onto Parekh’s tape, allowing the rookie defenceman to snap a puck top-shelf on Lankinen, the puck rifling out of the net as quickly as it entered the six-by-four.

Nils Hoglander added a third for Vancouver with 7:40 to play, but Klapka saved the extra point for the final ten seconds of the game. The big winger accepted a pass from linemate Brennan Othmann before striding in on goal and roofing the puck over Lankinen's left shoulder to round out the scoring.

Hunter Brzustewicz had two helpers on the night, and like Parekh, recorded his first career multi-point contest in the NHL.

In addition to his goal and two assists, Frost won 16 of his 21 face-off attempts.
