Matt Coronato scored to break a third-period deadlock and Rasmus Andersson collected three assists as the host Calgary Flames claimed a 4-2 comeback victory over the slumping Seattle Kraken on Thursday.
Mikael Backlund scored twice and Nazem Kadri posted one goal and one assist for the Flames, who scored three unanswered goals in the final frame while winning for the fifth time in seven games.
Calgary goaltender Dustin Wolf made 21 saves.
Chandler Stephenson and Kaapo Kakko tallied for the Kraken, who have lost four straight games and have managed only one victory in 11 outings (1-9-1).
Seattle goalie Joey Daccord stopped 42 shots, 18 of them in the scoreless first period.
Calgary pulled level at 10:04 of the third period. Kadri scored a power-play goal -- the Flames' fifth advantage against the league's worst penalty kill -- with a one-timer from the right faceoff circle.
Coronato netted the winning tally 75 seconds later. Taking advantage of a Seattle turnover at the Calgary blue line, Andersson sent a pass to Coronato, who had a step on a defender, and he ripped a top-shelf goal off the rush.
Backlund's empty-net goal with eight seconds remaining clinched the decision.
Seattle twice took a lead but could not hold it.
Stephenson opened the scoring at 7:52 of the second period with his third goal in as many outings. A Calgary turnover sent the Kraken into the offensive zone and Stephenson converted a nifty deke. The goal runs his point-scoring streak to seven games (four goals, three assists).
Backlund replied just past the midway point of the game with a fortuitous bounce. Andersson's pass to the front of the net banked into the net off Backlund's skate.
Kakko restored Seattle's lead on a power-play goal at 17:16 of the second period. Ryker Evans sent a perfectly placed shot-pass for Kakko to redirect for just his second goal of the season.
