Kadri then took over. The veteran center tied the game 74 seconds into the third period with a sharp-angled shot that banked off Ingram and into the net.

Kadri gave Calgary its first lead at 5:43 of the third period by deflecting MacKenzie Weegar's point shot for a power-play marker, his 29th goal of the campaign.

The Coyotes had a power play in the final minute but could not score the equalizer. The Flames have won nine straight home games against the Coyotes.

After the Coyotes staked an early 2-0 lead thanks to Kerfoot's 13th goal of the season at the 2:36 mark and Maccelli's 16th at 3:55, the Flames drew even. Kuzmenko scored his 22nd of the season at 7:22 and Coronato notched his third at 9:42 of the opening frame.

Guenther's first goal of the game on the power play at 17:54 of the opening frame put Arizona ahead again, but Zary replied with his 14th of the season at 9:07 of the second period.
