CALGARY, Alberta -- The Calgary Flames left the Toronto Maple Leafs behind in a
hurry.
Johnny Damon Jersey .Freddie Hamilton and
Kris Versteeg scored in the first minute and Chad Johnson made 39 saves in
Calgarys 3-0 victory over Toronto on Wednesday night.Six (games) in nine nights
and coming back home from New York, we were a tired club. I loved our start,
Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. And then when you get a goaltending performance
that Johnny gives us, it gives you a chance.Hamilton one-timed a centering pass
from Micheal Ferland past Jhonas Enroth high on the glove side for his first of
the season 19 seconds in. Thirty seconds later, Versteeg buried his third of the
season. Sean Monahan was initially stopped from the slot, but Enroth kicked the
rebound to Versteeg.A tough start, Enroth said. Two, a little bit unlucky goals.
I felt ready, but they beat me with the two first shots. The first goal, I didnt
get to my position and thats on me. Maybe I was a little bit slow on the pass
out and the second goal, just a bang-bang play.Calgary scored twice in the
opening minute for the first time since March 11, 1987 against the Hartford
Whalers. The last time any NHL team did it was Philadelphia against the New York
Islanders on April 9, 2011.Johnson has started eight of the last 10 games, going
6-2-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average, a .951 save percentage and a
career-best three shutouts.Their goalies been hot lately. He made a lot of
really good saves, stood on his head, Toronto rookie Auston Matthews. I thought
the second and third period, we definitely played much better in terms of
creating opportunities and taking control of the play more.Matt Stajan also
scored for Calgary.Enroth made 26 saves.Game notes Toronto has lost 10 of its
last 11 games in Calgary. ... Calgarys Johnny Gaudreau (broken finger) joined
the team at the morning skate. He has missed nine games.UP NEXT: At Vancouver on
Saturday night.Flames: Host Minnesota on Friday night.

. Darren Helm scored on Detroits sixth attempt in the shootout and then
Jonas Gustavsson stopped Andrew Shaws shot, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a
5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. NEW YORK -- Now that
theyve reached .500, Jorge De La Rosa and the Colorado Rockies want to see whats
on deck.De La Rosa earned his 100th career victory and Colorado eventually
caught up with Bartolo Colon, beating the New York Mets 7-2 on a rainy Saturday
night for its fifth straight win.The Rockies matched their longest winning
streak of the season, improved to 12-4 since the All-Star break and are within
four games of the second NL wild-card spot.We know we have enough talent, De La
Rosa said.Said manager Walt Weiss: Next thing in our sights, chase down that
wild card.Colorado won despite losing NL home run leader Trevor Story to a
jammed left thumb. The rookie shortstop hurt it on a scrambling slide in the
fourth, jarred it again moments later diving for a ball and exited early.X-rays
on Story were negative. Rockies trainer Keith Dugger said Story might benefit
from a day out of the starting lineup, but didnt envision any serious
problems.Hes going to be sore, Weiss said.On the day the Mets retired Hall of
Fame catcher Mike Piazzas No. 31, the Mets tied their longest skid of the season
with a fourth loss in a row. The 43-year-old Colon (9-6) faltered in his first
start on three days rest since 2005, and slugger Yoenis Cespedes left in midgame
because of a nagging quad injury.What is it, four in a row? Thats not going in
the right direction, Mets manager Terry Collins said. But, as I told them last
night, if we win the next four, we can forget about it.Right now we got to win
the next three here. Thats the next goal is to come out tomorrow and play a good
game. Weve still got to come here every day and grind it out, he said.Collins
was ejected in the ninth after umpires overturned their original call and took
away a home run from Wilmer Flores, ruling a fan reached over the wall and
prevented left fielder David Dahl from making a catch.I was going to catch it,
Dahl said.DJ LeMahieu drove in three runs and Dahl hit his second homer since
making his big league debut this week, helping the Rockies reach .500 for the
first time since late May.Colorados push toward playoff position has been
boosted by its 6-0 mark against the Mets. Last year,, the Rockies were 0-7
against them.
Masahiro Tanaka Jersey. De La Rosa (7-7) gave
up two runs in six innings and was part of Colorado pitchers retiring the last
16 batters. He is 100-82 lifetime.Hes kind of the poster boy for how you pitch
and succeed at Coors Field, Weiss said.Justin Ruggiano had an adventuresome time
after signing with New York earlier in the day. Cut by Texas
