CHICAGO (AP) Calgary’s Kris Versteeg scored the lone goal of the shootout in the seventh round of the tiebreaker to give the Flames a 3-2 win at Chicago on Monday and just their second victory this season.
Versteeg, a former Blackhawk, faked Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford and connected on a wrist shot.
Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan scored in regulation for Calgary.
Patrick Kane and Brian Campbell connected in regulation for Chicago. Campbell’s goal, his first with the Blackhawks since rejoining them as a free agent in the offseason, tied it 2-2 at 4:12 of the third.
Brian Elliott made 31 saves through overtime and blocked all seven in the shootout to earn his first win with Calgary since joining from St. Louis. He had conceded 14 goals in his first three starts for the Flames.
Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period as the Canadiens defeated Philadelphia 3-1 to extend their its winning streak to four games.
First-place Montreal, with five wins and one overtime loss, remains the only team unbeaten in regulation time.
Shea Weber and Alexander Radulov, into the empty net, also scored for Montreal while Jakub Voracek scored the sole goal for the Flyers.
