Mikhail Sergachev scored once in a three-point game and Maveric Lamoureux netted his first NHL goal as the host Utah Hockey Club claimed a 5-1 victory over the slumping Calgary Flames on Wednesday in Salt Lake City.

Alexander Kerfoot, Barrett Hayton and Clayton Keller also scored for Utah, which went into the clash winless in four games. Nick Schmaltz and Dylan Guenther both collected two assists and goaltender Connor Ingram made 30 saves.

Anthony Mantha replied for the Flames, who have lost four consecutive games, all in regulation. Goalie Dustin Wolf stopped 23 shots.

Despite Calgary's first-period edge in shots and possession, the hosts staked a two-goal edge by the first intermission.

Kerfoot opened the scoring at the 4:41 mark by finding the mark through the screen from the high slot into the glove-hand side for his first of the season. Curiously, his last goal was also against the Flames.

Hayton doubled the lead with 1.6 seconds remaining in the opening frame. During a rush up ice while the teams were playing four-on-four, Hayton gained the puck in the slot, worked to the left circle and fired just inside the far post.

Mantha provided Calgary a spark when he put the visitors on the board at 3:53 of the second period with a seeing-eye shot from the left circle for his third of the season, but Lamoureux restored Utah's two-goal edge 17 seconds later with a long point shot for his milestone marker. It was the fourth career game for Lamoureux, the 2022 first-round draft pick.

Sergachev's goal during a five-on-three power play at 16:32 of the second period, a point shot through a screen for his second of the season, made it a three-goal lead.

Keller stretched the advantage to 5-1 with another power-play goal, his sixth tally of the campaign, five minutes into the third period to round out the scoring.

Flames captain Mikael Backlund skated in his 1,000th regular-season game.
