Flames 6, Panthers 4: Lance Bouma scored the go-ahead goal with 2:18 remaining in the third period and Jonas Hiller stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of Karri Ramo as visiting Calgary skated to its fourth win in five games.

Captain Mark Giordano recorded a short-handed goal and two assists to extend his point streak to six games. Rookie Johnny Gaudreau also scored and set up two goals, Sean Monahan netted his fourth tally in five contests and David Jones and Jiri Hudler also scored as the Flames improved to 7-3-0 on the road.

Scottie Upshall collected two goals and an assist while Nick Bjugstad and Jimmy Hayes also tallied for the Panthers, who have dropped three in a row (0-2-1). Rookie Aaron Ekblad notched two assists and fellow defenseman Dmitry Kulikov did the same before exiting with a knee injury.

Upshall nearly notched his second career hat trick when his turnaround shot from along the end line banked off Hayes and past Ramo (four goals allowed on 22 shots) at 13:31 of the second period to give Florida a 4-3 edge. Monahan scored his team-leading sixth goal at 4:53 of the third to forge a tie before Calgary benefited from an ill-advised line change and Bouma unleashed a one-timer from the slot that sailed past the glove of Al Montoya (19 saves).

After registering his first goal of the season in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Philadelphia, Upshall opened the scoring 77 seconds into the contest as his sharp-angle shot from behind the net caromed off Ramo's skate and in. The teams traded tallies in a 33-second span early in the second before Upshall buried a loose puck in front at 7:37 after Kulikov's shot from the right point was tipped, giving Florida a 3-1 lead.
