CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Calgary Flames used three different goalscorers to send the Chicago Blackhawks to their fourth straightdefeat with a 3-2 victory at the United Center on Sunday.

Owen Nolan scored in the second period and Cory Sarich andDaymond Langkow added third-period goals for the Flames, who wonfor just the second time in seven games.


Calgary goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff made 35 saves - including 18in the third period - to help preserve the victory.

"When teams are down they always come at you in the end,"Kiprusoff said. "They were really pushing it but it's great toget the win. It's awesome to start our road trip like this."

With the game tied at 1-1 midway through the third period,Sarich fired a wrist shot from the right point that found itsway past Chicago goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin to give Calgary a2-1 lead with 8:41 to play.


"I think my shot hit somebody wearing black pants, but bothteams were wearing black pants," Sarich said. "My teammateswill have fun with the goal since I don't score much, at leastit went in."


Langkow doubled the lead on the power play more than two minuteslater when he deflected a shot from the point by defensemanDion Phaneuf to give the Flames a two-goal advantage with 6:08left in the game.


Dustin Byfuglien cut the Chicago deficit 3-2 with 5:21remaining, scoring off a scramble in front. However, Kiprusoffmade the slim lead stand up, smothering a loose puck whilelaying flat on his back off another scramble as the final hornwent off.


"They had a couple of good chances at the end," Kiprusoff said."On the final save the puck hit me, but it was a relief to feelit under my back. I knew I had it then."


Robert Lang had a goal and an assist to extend his point streakto four games, and his tally gave Chicago a 1-0 lead midwaythrough the first period.


"Robert is a good player who always has his head up and islooking for plays," Byfuglien said. "He is somebody the rest ofus can feed off of, and he has played really good lately."

Calgary tied the game at 1-1 with 12:03 left in the secondperiod when the right wing Nolan scored his fifth goal of theseason, after taking a pass at the Chicago blueline from AlexTanguay.


Nolan skated to the top of the left faceoff circle where heblasted a slapshot just under the crossbar and over the glove ofKhabibulin.


Khabibulin finished with 26 saves for the Blackhawks, who havelost three straight games to begin their four-game homestand.

"We have been trying to do too much because of our losingstreak," Chicago defenseman James Wisnewski said. "The guysdon't like this because we have played better than the resultswe are getting."
