Tkachuk, Toffoli lead Flames past Wild for franchise-record 11th straight home win

Matthew Tkachuk and Tyler Toffoli each scored twice and added an assist on Saturday as the Calgary Flames won 7-3 over the Minnesota Wild to tie a franchise record with 11 consecutive wins on home ice.

Erik Gudbranson, Andrew Mangiapane and Blake Coleman also scored for Calgary (31-14-6), which also won 11 games from Nov. 15 to Dec. 27, 2015. The Flames have outscored teams 52-15 during this span.

It was a strong bounce-back performance for the Flames who had their 10-game winning streak snapped in a 7-1 loss in Vancouver on Thursday.

Sitting third in the Central by one point over Nashville, Minnesota returns home after picking up just two points on their four-game Canadian road trip. The same two teams meet again on Tuesday at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minn.

Jacob Markstrom made 22 saves for Calgary to improve to 24-11-5.

WATCH l Coleman's short-handed breakaway goal helps Flames defeat Wild:

Kaapo Kahkonen had 28 stops in a second consecutive start for Minnesota. He fell to 12-5-2.

Minnesota got off to a fast start scoring on its first shot 1:36 into the game.

Off a faceoff won in the defensive zone, Kevin Fiala carried the puck up ice and into the Flames end, banking a pass back to Jon Merrill at the blue line whose shot was deflected out of mid-air by Gaudreau.

But Calgary took over from that point, scoring the next three goals in a period in which they outshot the visitors 18-4.

Calgary tied it at 10:29 when Toffoli snuck in from the blue line undetected and one-timed a perfect cross-ice pass from Rasmus Andersson.

On the power play, Toffoli and Elias Lindholm combined to get the puck to Tkachuk at the side of the net, who on his second whack at it, knocked his 25th goal of the season past Kahkonen.
