CALGARY — Matt Coronato scored a hat trick to lead the Calgary Flames past the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 on Thursday night. Coronato scored Calgary's second and third goals and added an empty-netter. Adam Klapka also scored for the Flames (25-18-7), who continue to duel with the Vancouver Canucks at the Western Conference playoff cutline.

With the Flames on the penalty kill with about eight minutes remaining, Wolf came up clutch with a pair of denials in a three-second span. Even as JJ Peterka’s sharp-angle attempt rattled off his mask, he was unfazed — and exactly where he needed to be — to road-block Alex Tuch’s crack at the rebound.
