Matthew Tkachuk broke a tie late in the third period to help the Calgary Flames to a 5-2 win against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Tkachuk gave the Flames a 3-2 lead when he banked in a shot from the goal line off the skate of Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones at 14:25.

Elias Lindholm and Rasmus Andersson each had two assists, and Jacob Markstrom made 19 saves for the Flames, who have won four straight.

Reese Johnson had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Hagel also scored for the Blackhawks, who are 5-2-0 under interim head coach Derek King. Marc-Andre Fleury made 34 saves on 37 shots.

Dillon Dube gave the Flames a 1-0 lead at 1:19 of the first period when he took a pass in transition along the left wing and carried the puck in before snapping a shot far side on Fleury on the Flames' first shot of the game.

Hagel tied it 1-1 at 8:57. Johnson and Ryan Carpenter each won a battle along the boards before Carpenter fed Hagel, who scored from the top of the left circle.

The Flames capitalized on a failed clearing attempt by the Blackhawks to take a 2-1 lead at 13:06. Defenseman Connor Murphy's clear hit Brad Richardson's skate, and the Flames forward sent a backhand pass to Milan Lucic in the right circle, who beat Fleury glove side.

Chicago took advantage of a misplay by Markstrom to equalize.

Trevor Lewis scored into an empty net at 18:39 of the third period to make it 4-2 and Johnny Gaudreau added another empty-net tally with 26 seconds remaining to seal the 5-2 final.
