Tkachuk scores three, Gaudreau passes 100-point mark as Flames down Kraken

CALGARY — Matthew Tkachuk scored three goals to set a career high in a season with 37, and the Calgary Flames came back for a 5-3 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday.

Noah Hanifin, with a goal and an assist, and Andrew Mangiapane also scored for Calgary (45-19-9), which scored four unanswered goals in the third period to earn their fifth win in a row.

Johnny Gaudreau had two assists and set a career high with 101 points.

Ryan Donato, with his career-high 15th goal, Victor Rask and Adam Larsson scored for Seattle (23-44-6), which was swept in the four-game season series.

The Kraken return home after Wednesday's game in Winnipeg was postponed due to a winter storm. Seattle returns to action on Saturday when they play host to the New Jersey Devils.

Dan Vladar (11-5-1) started the third period in goal and stopped all seven shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom to pick up the win. His best stop was a blocker save on Karson Kuhlman on a shorthanded breakaway that would have made it 4-2.

Markstrom stopped 12 of 15 shots.

Chris Driedger (7-12-1) had 26 stops for the Kraken.

Down 3-1 after two periods, the Flames scored twice in the opening six minutes of the third to pull even.

On a four-on-three power play, Tkachuk's attempted pass across the top of the crease hit Larsson and came right back and he swatted in his second goal of the night.

Gaudreau hit the 100-point mark for the first time in his career with the primary assist. His career-best had been 99 points in 2018-19.

He's the seventh player in franchise history to get 100 points and first since Theoren Fleury in 1992-93.

Tkachuk turned to Gaudreau and gave him a big hug after the milestone point as the Saddledome crowd roared. His parents Guy and Jane, who just
