CALGARY — Curtis Glencross had two goals and an assist to pace the Flames to a 5-2 win over the Blackhawks on Friday.
The season-high five-goal output was a relief for the Flames, who had scored one goal in five of their previous eight games.
Viktor Stahlberg and Marian Hossa scored for Chicago. The league's top team dropped to 1-1 on a six-game road trip that takes it to Edmonton tonight.
Calgary scored twice in 17 seconds at the start of the second period to take a 3-1 lead.
