GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Calgary Flames expected a fight from a desperate team and got one.Once they shook off a slow start, the Flames fought back and Dougie Hamilton scored a crafty overtime goal to extend their winning streak to five games.Hamilton scored 1:09 into overtime, Chad Johnson stopped 27 shots and the Calgary Flames beat the Arizona Coyotes 2-1 on Thursday night.We had to stick with it, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. Our start wasnt good -- our first 12 minutes wasnt very good -- but we found a way.The Coyotes were the aggressors early, seemingly taking out a season full of frustration in a chippy game filled with big hits and multiple fights.The Flames appeared stunned early and fell behind on a power-play goal midway through the first period before standing their ground.Mark Giordano scored late in the first period, Johnson was stellar the rest of the way and Hamilton capped it by using a forehand deke to set up his backhand winner.Calgary has won eight of 11 (8-2-1).We need to win these type games every once in a while, Flames captain Johnny Gaudreau said. We did a great job of figuring out the play after the first 10 minutes, played well in overtime and got the two points.Max Domi scored and was involved in one of three fights before leaving with an upper-body injury and Mike Smith stopped 33 shots for the Coyotes.Arizona captain Shane Doan became Arizonas all-time assist leader and is the fifth player in NHL history to own his teams records for games played, goals, assists, points, game-winning goals and power-play goals.But for all the fight, the Coyotes still ended up with yet another loss, their sixth straight and 11th in 14 games (3-7-4).There were a lot of emotions out there and everybody was trying hard, Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson said. We need to keep getting better and keep finding ways to get better.Calgary has been headed in the opposite direction as the struggling Coyotes, winning seven of its previous 10 games to bounce back from a slow start to the season.Yet as they headed to Arizona, the Flames were concerned about the Coyotes.Arizona has struggled with puck possession and tended to put a heavy burden on its goalies -- 35.1 shots against per game -- but Calgary knew better than to overlook a desperate team on the road.The Coyotes came out hard at the Flames, leading a physical first period that included two fights.Domi put the Coyotes up midway through the first on a scramble that left Johnson flailing outside the crease. Johnson was unable to secure the puck and it squirted out front to Domi, who one-timed past two Flames for his fifth of the season.But after gathering themselves, the Flames scored on a power play late in the period. Giordano got it, one-timing a pass from Gaudreau in the right circle by squeezing it past Smiths pad and the post for his second goal in three games.Thats one I should have, Smith said. I was there and thought I had it. Im not sure how it went in.Another fight punctuated a scoreless second period, when Domi and Garnet Hathaway squared off. Domi left the ice with blood dripping from his eye and did not return after playing one shift in the third period.Game notes Doan had an assist on Domis goal to break Thomas Steens franchise record of 553 assists. ... Calgary RW Kris Versteeg did not play after injuring his hip against Dallas on Tuesday. ... Arizonas Ryan White was called for instigating and was issued a 10-minute misconduct in the first period after Lance Bouma ran Coyotes Ekman-Larsson into the boards.UP NEXTFlames: Host Winnipeg on Saturday to start a three-game homestand.Coyotes: Host Nashville on Saturday before leaving on a four-game road trip next week.

PITTSBURGH -- It was the tweet read round the hockey world.After Team USA was eliminated from the World Cup of Hockey in September after going a dreadful 0-3, Phil Kessel, who was left off the American roster for the tournament, took a jab on Twitter:?Members of Team USA did not like his comment and thought the timing was poor and in bad taste. Zach Parise was ticked. Derek Stepan said the tweet, if directed at Team USA, was disrespectful. David Backes said those types of comments will be remembered when whatever happens going forward happens going forward.Kessel and the Pittsburgh Penguins host Backes and the Boston Bruins?on Wednesday night at PPG Paints Arena for the first time since the tweet. Even though months have passed, and Kessel later told ESPN.com that his comments werent directed at the players, theres been zero communication between Kessel and Backes.None at all, Backes said. Its been a few months that have passed, and its one of those things where, in the moment, I dont know if I was referencing that I was not going to forget that. Its more of people dont forget your comments when, no matter what the situation is, handling things the right way is something that as a professional athlete, it starts to define you and how you handle yourself.For me, it was done in the wrong way. You ask a question and Im going to give you a candid response on what I think, and I dont think that was the time or the place. Yeah, it wasnt the performance we wanted as a team, to not have much success outside the exhibition games. But were playing an NHL hockey game [Wednesday] and we need two points out of it and thats what really matters.Dec. 14 has been circled on the calendar for many reasons, and Backes wants his response to be on the scoreboard at the final buzzer. Kessel and the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in June, so beating the reigning champions is the goal for Backes and the Bruins. The Penguins had an off day on Tuesday, and Kessel was not made available to the media.To be able to beat a Stanley Cup champion in their building sends a big shot in the arm for a lot of guys, BBackes said.dddddddddddd It doesnt matter who were playing ... and we have another opportunity to boost our confidence against a really good team [Wednesday].Players in the Team USA locker room agreed back in September with Backes response to Kessel. Even now, three months later, it still hits a chord.As a fellow countryman, and I dont want to parallel it to the military because what we do is not even close to their sacrifice, but those guys that arent selected for a mission still support their fellow comrades and wish them the best, and arent going to sling mud if things arent going well, Backes said.We made a lot of parallels to the military during the World Cup, and just in my mind it was something that if Im not selected for the next Olympics, or the next international event, Ill still be wearing red, white and blue at home and cheering those guys on and wishing them the best. Thats my nature. If theres a little comedy that comes out of it on [Kessels] side, when in reality we had a mission and we failed.Some will wonder why this is being brought up again months later, but theres a certain passion and motivation that comes with representing your country, and any type of criticism is never forgotten.The Bruins game against the Penguins will mean more than just two points for Backes.Representing Team USA is one of the most prideful things Ive ever been able to do, and to do it in three World Championships, two Olympics and a World Cup, those colors mean a lot to me, Backes said. My best friend growing up served three tours in the Marines and served overseas and now Ive got the freedoms that I have, and Im able to do what I do, because selfless people like him serve our country and lay their lives on the line to fight for us. I tried to grasp a little bit of that pride that those men and women have overseas in my international [playing] experiences and use that as a little bit more motivation to lay everything on the line and fight for my country.
