Joel Farabee scores 2 goals as Flames edge Hurricanes 5-4
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) --- Joel Farabee scored twice and had an assist to lead
the Calgary Flames to a 5-4 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday
night.
Morgan Frost had a goal and two assists for the Flames, who snapped a four-game
winless skid. Ryan Strome had a goal and an assist in his debut for Calgary,
and Blake Coleman also had a goal and an assist. Dustin Wolf made 25 saves.
Seth Jarvis had a goal and two assists for the Eastern Conference-leading
Hurricanes, who lost in regulation for just the second time in their last 16
games (12-2-2). Sean Walker, Alexander Nikishin and Andrei Svechnikov also
scored for Carolina.
Brandon Bussi stopped 20 shots, but his nine-game franchise record-tying
winning streak ended.
In their first game without No. 1 center Nazem Kadri, who was traded to
Colorado on Friday, the Flames got off to a rough start as Jarvis scored 44
seconds in on the game's first shot.
Calgary bounced back in the second with three goals to take the lead for good.
Strome, acquired from Anaheim on Friday, got it started by scoring 19 seconds
into the period off a feed from Olli Maatta --- who also made his Flames debut
after coming from Utah in a trade on Wednesday.
Strome had his first multipoint game since Dec. 7, when he had two assists
against Chicago.
Flames defenseman Zach Whitecloud (upper body) left the game in the first
period and didn't return.
