Goaltender Robin Lehner made 41 saves for the Blackhawks, who have won three straight and five of six games. Maatta, a healthy scratch the previous outing, opened the scoring with his second goal of the season 4:14 into the first period. Strome’s ninth goal of the season at 9:41 of the second period made it 4-0 and ended up being the game winner. Sam Bennett’s first goal in nearly two months, an effort from the doorstep during a scramble, put the Flames on the board with six seconds remaining in the second period. David Rittich made 28 saves for the Flames, who have dropped two straight and have only two wins in their last eight games (2-5-1).
