CALGARY Youth Dustin Byfuglien Jersey , Alberta (AP) —Michael Frolik got promoted and made the most of it.After rejoining the second line with Mikael Backlund and Matthew Tkachuk, Frolik had a goal and two assists to lead the streaking Calgary Flames to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Florida Panthers on Friday night.“It wasn’t the start I was looking for,” said Frolik, who had his first three-point game in three seasons. “It’s not easy — you’re cold, you’re not in the game. When you get out there, you get a 10-second shift and then they switch the line.”Down 2-0 in the second, Calgary got the comeback started at 10:14 when Frolik deflected in Backlund’s shot for his 11th goal.The Flames tied it five minutes later on a terrific setup by Frolik. Darting down the wing, he stopped sharply after gaining the zone, then patiently waited for Mark Giordano to jump up into the rush before sliding a perfect cross-ice pass that the captain fired past goalie Roberto Luongo.Florida coach Bob Boughner challenged the goal, citing goaltender interference on Tkachuk http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-jacob-trouba-jersey , who slightly bumped Luongo seconds before the puck went in, but the call on the ice stood.Another primary assist from Frolik gave Calgary the lead 8:29 into the third. Pouncing on Jonathan Huberdeau’s turnover inside the blue line, Frolik fed Tkachuk all alone in front for his 21st goal.“I don’t know how he saw me. I was just hiding in the weeds back there and he made a great play,” Tkachuk said.Frolik has eight points (four goals, four assists) in seven games since coach Bill Peters made him a healthy scratch on Dec. 29. It’s been a bumpy season for the veteran, who has bounced between lines and missed four weeks due to injury.“He’s been awesome,” coach Bill Peters said when asked how Frolik has handled it. “He’s been great. A good pro, veteran guy. He’s been in the league a long time.”Peters wanted to roll four lines, but that didn’t materialize due to the early deficit, so he juggled his personnel and went down to three.“We fell behind early and didn’t have any jump, so then we had to get going with nine guys and try to get nine guys more ice time and a little bit more of an emotional attachment to the game Austin Czarnik Jersey Womens ,” he said.Sean Monahan scored into an empty net for the Flames (29-13-4). The Western Conference leaders have won four games in a row to improve to 7-1-1 in their last nine.Still, Peters isn’t happy with his team’s play of late.“We haven’t played well here for a while and it’s been masked by the fact we’ve got wins,” the coach said.Johnny Gaudreau had an assist to extend his point streak to seven games (seven goals, nine assists).Mike Hoffman, Huberdeau and Evgenii Dadonov scored for Florida (17-18-8). The struggling Panthers have lost their last five.“It seemed like we started to panic a little bit and get away from having some poise and making plays that are needed with the puck,” Hoffman said. “We kept chipping it back to them and then we weren’t able to change. Long change in the second period and they kept coming.”Florida is 0-2-1 on its five-game road trip.“At the end of the day, we had four or five glorious opportunities to go ahead in this game and get the next goal and we never did. Give their goalie some credit. He made some big saves,” Boughner said.Monahan’s 24th goal ended up the game-winner after Dadanov scored with 20 seconds remaining.David Rittich made 24 saves to improve to 17-4-3 for the Flames. Luongo, tested 23 times, dropped to 8-10-1.Building on a solid opening 20 minutes, the Panthers surged in front by two on Huberdeau’s breakaway goal 20 seconds into the second. Sprung in alone on a terrific pass by Keith Yandle Josh Morrissey Jersey , Huberdeau slipped a shot through Rittich’s pads.Taking advantage of a sleepy start by the Flames, who were outshot 10-4 in the first, Florida scored the only goal of the period when Hoffman got his 21st after a turnover by Noah Hanifin.NOTES: Frolik’s last three-point game was against Winnipeg on March 16, 2016. … Flames LW Andrew Mangiapane played his first game since Dec. 15.

(AP) — Don’t look now, but goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and the Columbus Blue Jackets are mounting yet another late-season surge to make the playoffs.Bobrovsky stopped 38 shots to earn his third shutout in five games and league-leading ninth of the season, and the Blue Jackets won their fifth straight by beating the free-falling Buffalo Sabres 4-0 on Sunday night.“Life pretty much forced us to be at our best because if you’re not there, you’re not going to make the playoffs,” said Bobrovsky, who has allowed just four goals on the past 138 shots he has faced over a five-game span.“I’m not going to lie http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-kyle-connor-jersey , it’s nice to have it,” he added when reminded he moved one shutout ahead of Vegas’ Marc-Andre Fleury. “But it’s most important (for) the team success.”With 94 points, the Blue Jackets jumped into seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, a point ahead of Carolina and two up on idle Montreal.Columbus enters the final week of the season with an opportunity to secure its third consecutive playoff berth in a run similar to how the Blue Jackets closed last year by going 13-2-2.Nick Foligno capped a three-goal first period and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his 25th and added two assists. Oliver Bjorkstrand and Josh Anderson each had a goal for a Columbus team that has outscored its opponents by a combined 24-4 over its past five games.The Sabres appeared lifeless in adding yet another dud to what has been a lengthy second-half collapse, and raised further questions as to whether the players have quit on second-year coach Phil Housley.A large group of fans in the upper level — within earshot of where Sabres general manager Jason Botterill sits — began chanting “Fire Housley” during a break four minutes into the third period.“It’s frustrating. I understand the fans’ frustration. Guys are frustrated,” Housley said. “It’s always difficult when you don’t get the results.”Buffalo was coming off a 5-1 loss at the New York Islanders on Saturday, and dropped to 0-6-1 in its past seven and 1-12-1 over its past 14.The slump actually began in late November after the Sabres briefly took over first place in the overall standings following a 10-game win streak. Buffalo has since gone 14-32-8 in a slide that has tumbled them into 27th overall.“They have a right to be mad,” forward Kyle Okposo said of the fans. “Last night we were lifeless. Today it was a little bit better, but it was 4-0. It’s not good enough.”Buffalo was shut out for the seventh time this season and fifth time in 12 outings.Linus Ullmark made 32 saves in dropping to 0-6-1 in his past seven — a stretch during which he has allowed 25 goals.Columbus, playing a night after a 5-2 win at Nashville, was being outshot 7-1 through the first 6:20 Mark Scheifele Jersey , before closing the period by scoring three times on its next 12 shots.Dubois opened the scoring 7:14 in, when Seth Jones‘ shot from the right circle banked in off him and into the open left side.Bjorkstrand scored 6 ½ minutes later by one-timing in Dubois’ pass into the high slot.Foligno capped the run by drawing Ullmark away from the right post before circling behind the net and wrapping the puck in off the stick of Buffalo defenseman Brandon Montour with 2:13 left.Foligno laughed off a question as to whether the Blue Jackets’ three-goal surge demoralized the Sabres.“Oh yeah. Not to be rude, it’s not my worry,” Foligno said. “I’m not concerned about them. I just like the way we were playing. Our goal is to get into the playoffs.”Bobrovsky wasn’t really tested until the third period, with his best stops coming eight minutes in. First, he got his blocker up to turn aside Montour’s shot from the right point, and Bobrovsky recovered in time to kick out his right pad in stopping Jeff Skinner attempting to convert the rebound in front.NOTES: Blue Jackets improved their road record to 23-14-2 and matched the single-season franchise mark for road wins set in 2014-15, when they went 23-15-3. … Sabres D Jake McCabe returned after missing 13 games with a shoulder injury. … Blue Jackets have 246 goals, one short of matching franchise single-season record set in 2016-17.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: Seek to extend season-best five-game home winning streak in regular-season home finale against Boston on Tuesday.Sabres: Host Nashville Predators on Tuesday.
