The Calgary Flames scored four consecutive goals in the second period and extended their winning streak to five games Thursday night with a 5-2 victory over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.

Noah Hanifin and Rasmus Andersson each tallied a goal and an assist for the Flames. Andrew Mangiapane, Oliver Kylington (power play) and Elias Lindholm also scored, and Mikael Backlund added two assists.

Calgary's Jacob Markstrom, who shut out the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, made 46 saves.

Jack Campbell stopped 21 shots for the Maple Leafs.

Toronto's Ondrej Kase left for the dressing room late in the first period after he took a solid, clean check from Nikita Zadorov.

Morgan Rielly pursued Zadorov and was given minor penalties for cross-checking and roughing at 18:21 of the first. Zadorov took a roughing minor for tussling with Rielly.
