Jakob Pelletier shined with two goals and an assist, leading the Calgary Flames to a convincing 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night. Calgary's offensive effort also saw contributions from Mikael Backlund, Yegor Sharangovich, and Jake Bean, marking their third straight win. Rookie goalie Dustin Wolf was solid in net, recording 23 saves during the match.
In a notable debut, Flames forward Rory Kerins assisted on two goals in the first period. Meanwhile, Connor Bedard found the net for his 100th career point but couldn't prevent the Blackhawks from suffering their ninth loss in 11 games. Despite Louis Crevier scoring, Petr Mrazek's 31 saves weren't enough to keep Chicago competitive.
