“It feels good, but the most important thing is we came out with two points,” said Begin, who sat out all of last season with a hip injury and hadn’t scored since the 2010 playoffs. “We needed those points and that’s a huge win. We’ve got to be proud of ourselves but we’ve got to bring the same intensity for the next few games.”

“We showed lots of character. I’m very proud of our players,” said Flames coach Bob Hartley, whose club is 3-1-1 on the road this year. “We had a good talk after the second period. I told them if we want to build some foundation to be a playoff team, it’s games like this that we need to win.”

“Our forechecking was much better, but more importantly we put pucks at the net with traffic and we found those loose pucks,” Hartley said of the third period. “A great play by Stempniak on that short pass to Stajan. Tonight we had three huge goals in that third period.”

“It’s been a long time and it’s been frustrating, ups and downs, good days, bad days,” said MacDonald, who last won an NHL game on March 9, 2012. “But tonight 30 shots, I felt pretty good in there for not playing in a while.”
