Andreas Athanasiou scored twice, including the go-ahead goal in the third period, as the Chicago Blackhawks snapped an eight-game losing skid on Tuesday with a 4-3 victory over the desperate Calgary Flames.
With only four games left in the Flames’ regular season, Calgary remains two points back of Winnipeg for the second wild-card berth in the Western Conference. The Jets, who host the Flames on Wednesday, have a game in hand and also own the tiebreaker.Markstrom made 19 stops for Calgary. Starting for the 16th time in the last 17 games, his record falls to 22-21-10.
That’s goals in three straight games for Athanasiou, who before that had gone 14 games without scoring. He’s got 18 goals on the season. In a game Calgary had to have, the home side was flat in the first period, falling behind 2-1 and being outshot 11-7. Calgary had a great chance to take its first lead in the final minute, but off a cross-ice setup from Toffoli, Elias Lindholm’s shot was kicked aside by Mrazek, who stretched out to get his toe on the dangerous shot.
