Flames Beat Mammoth 4-1 as Pachal Posts Three Points and Coronato Reaches 100

Utah still needs three points from its final two games to secure the West's top wild card.

Overview

  • Calgary won 4-1 on Sunday in Alberta with Brayden Pachal scoring his first of the season and adding two assists as Matt Coronato hit 100 career points.
  • Dustin Wolf stopped 28 shots for the Flames, who are out of the playoff race but are 7-0-1 in their past eight at home.
  • Utah remains the No. 1 wild card in the West at 90 points and holds a three-point edge on the Kings, who have a game in hand.
  • MacKenzie Weegar received an ovation in his first game back in Calgary and logged an assist for Utah after what coaches called a flat start on the second night of a back-to-back.
  • The Mammoth close with home games against Winnipeg on Tuesday and St. Louis on Thursday, and locking the top wild card would likely steer them toward a Pacific Division opponent.
