MONTREAL (AP) --- Alexandre Texier had a goal and two assists, Jacob Fowler
made 28 saves and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 on
Wednesday night.
Lane Hutson, Oliver Kapanen and Cole Caufield also scored to help Montreal
improve to 24-13-6.
Joel Farabee scored for Calgary, and Dustin Wolf stopped 31 shots. The Flames
dropped to 18-21-4.
Texier opened the scoring 3:10 into the second period when he took the puck at
the goal line and roofed it over Wolf's shoulder.
After Phillip Danault's chance out of the penalty box, Texier got the puck back
to him, and Danault found Hutson alone in the slot. Hutson fired a slap shot
past Wolf. Just 1:07 later, Kapanen finished off a rebound to make it 3-0.
Farabee beat Fowler with a shot from the left circle with 2:21 left in the
second.
Caufield took a Texier pass and fired a rolling puck past Wolf for his 21st
goal 3:56 into the third period.
Flames forward William Stromgren made his NHL debut.
