Tkachuk, Hamilton lead Flames over Predators, 4-3
NASHVILLE — If the Flames were weary at the end of their long trip, it didn’t show against the Predators.
Matthew Tkachuk and Dougie Hamilton each had a goal and an assist in Calgary’s 4-3 victory over Nashville on Thursday night.
Mark Jankowski and Curtis Lazar also scored, and David Rittich made 29 saves. The Flames won two of their last three to finish 4-2 on their longest trip of the season.
“A little cliche-ish, but the big battle cry in there today was, ‘Who can do it the hardest the longest?’” Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan said. “I thought our guys did that tonight.”
