Former Kings Brad Richardson, Trevor Lewis and Milan Lucic know Darryl Sutter's systems well and are providing the Flames with meaningful minutes on the fourth line. (EricFrancis)

As Dominik Kubalik closed in on his chance to sweep the puck out of harm’s way,Instead, as the consummate teammate, the hulking veteran deftly stuck his stick out to shield the puck from the defender, allowing it to cross the goal line and clinch the team’s fourth-straight win.

“I think it’s still filtering through our team for sure... You can see tonight, the experience from our older guys is really important. It probably allows line to persevere in the end. It tells you they are learning about it, too.” While it was Matthew Tkachuk whose fortuitous bounce off the skate of Seth Jones broke a 2-2 tie with five minutes remaining, this was a night of perpetual grinding that got the Flames across the finish line with two points they likely wouldn’t have procured a year or two ago.

Dillon Dube opened the scoring 71 seconds in, with a snapshot from the top of the circle that somehow beat Marc-Andre Fleury cleanly.The Hawks took advantage of giveaways by the Flames to battle back twice, setting up a tense third period in which the Flames were running on fumes.

EricFrancis Meaningful minutes? Sutter plays all the 4 lines the same. There is no 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th line
