Arizona had 1.0 but then Calgary scored nine goals in periods two and three.

Behind four of these was Lindholm, who himself scored the 6-1 goal.

- It feels good to pick a victory.

Our goal was to reach the playoffs.

And we have done that now.

It is very difficult to get there, said Calgary's coach Darryl Sutter.

Lindholm is thus up to 78 points (39 goals and 39 assists) in 75 games and passes Mika Zibanejad (77) as the best Swedish scorer in the NHL.

Lindholm has already touched his best record from the season 18/19 when the Swede scored 78 points in 81 matches.

Jacob Markström made 25 saves for Calgary.

Hedman with four goal passes

Reigning champion Tampa received good help from his captain Victor Hedman last night.

The Swede accounted for four assists when Tampa beat Winnipeg on away ice 7-4.

Hedman has now accounted for 53 goal-scoring assists.

The Swede's second best season record in 13 NHL seasons.

The very best assist season was 56 goals, 2016-2017.
