Flames 4, Bruins 3 (SO): Waiver-wire pickup David Schlemko made a memorable debut for Calgary, scoring the decisive goal in the eighth round of the shootout as the visiting Flames completed a sweep of the season series.

Jiri Hudler recorded a goal and an assist while Sean Monahan and rookie Johnny Gaudreau each scored on the power play as Calgary improved to 3-2-0 on its seven-game road trip while ending a four-game skid in Boston. Defensemen Kris Russell and Dennis Wideman collected two assists apiece and Karri Ramo made 34 saves before stopping seven attempts in the shootout for the Flames, who climbed within two points of Vancouver for second place in the Pacific Division.

Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic and Loui Eriksson tallied for the Bruins, who remained two points ahead of Florida for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference. Tuukka Rask turned aside 29 shots but was beaten in the final two rounds of the bonus format to fall to 3-0-2 lifetime against the Flames.

Boston scored the opening goal for the sixth straight game as Marchand pounced on a deflected puck to the right of the net before circling and beating Ramo on a wraparound at 7:46 of the first period. Monahan answered on the power play just over 11 minutes later, knocking home a rebound for his sixth tally in nine games.

Lucic converted from between the right faceoff dot and hash marks off Ryan Spooner's pass from behind the net 2 1/2 minutes into the second, but Hudler buried a long rebound with 5:34 left in the session before Calgary went ahead on Gaudreau's wrister from the right circle at 4:59 of the third. Eriksson got the equalizer with 8:20 to play in the session, tucking home a rebound from the doorstep.
