Kenny Agostino netted his first career NHL tally for the Flames,
who improved to 2-2-0 on their five-game road trip. Joey MacDonald
made 34 saves in his first start since March 14 .
Vincent Trocheck scored a power-play goal as the reeling Panthers
dropped their fifth in a row and eighth in nine outings. Roberto
Luongo celebrated his 35th birthday by making 15 saves in his 800th
career game.
Cammalleri's initial shot from the slot sailed wide but Jiri Hudler
settled the puck and circled the net. Hudler wired a pass through
the slot to Cammalleri, who made no mistake from deep in the left
circle for his team-leading 26th goal to give Calgary a 2-1 lead at
6:09 of the second period.
Agostino recorded his milestone goal after Brian McGrattan's shot
was denied in the slot. The puck squirted to Agostino and the former
Yale star deposited the puck past Luongo from the left circle to
open the scoring 1:34 into the second period. Trocheck cleaned up a
rebound off Jimmy Hayes' shot and beat MacDonald just 47 seconds
later.
