Evander Kane had his first career four-goal game to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 7-4 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday.
Tomas Hertl had a goal and an assist for the Sharks (39-23-9), who have won three straight games and four of their past five. Kevin Lebanc and Eric Fehr also scored.
Goalie Martin Jones made 30 saves to improve his record to 25-18-6.
Micheal Ferland had a goal and an assist for the Flames (35-27-10), who are four points behind the Dallas Stars (38-26-8) for the second and final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Troy Brouwer, Mark Jankowski and Johnny Gaudreau also scored for Calgary.
Three nights after stopping all 28 shots he faced against the Oilers, Calgary goalie Mike Smith had a rough outing as he made just
14 saves before being replaced by David Rittich early in the third period. Rittich went on to stop all seven shots he faced in a relief appearance.
The Sharks opened the scoring six minutes into the first period when Kane’s wrist shot from just inside beat Smith to the glove side.
