MONTREAL -- Josh Jooris had his first two-goal game, TJ Brodie had three assists, and Jonas Hiller made 18 saves to lift the Calgary Flames to a 6-2 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.
Jooris, who was left out of the lineup for Calgary's 4-3 win against the Nashville Predators on Friday, snapped a wrist shot past Canadiens goalie Carey Price on a power-play breakaway to restore the Flames three-goal lead at 8:48 of the third.
Johnny Gaudreau assisted on first-period goals by Jooris and Markus Granlund. Curtis Glencross and Mark Giordano each had a goal and an assist, and Lance Bouma also scored for Calgary, which has five points in its past three games, including a 2-1 overtime loss against Montreal on Tuesday.
Max Pacioretty scored 37 seconds into the third to draw the Canadiens within 3-1. Hiller, who made his third start in a row, stuck out his left pad to stop Montreal forward Rene Bourque on a breakaway at 5:56 of the third to maintain Calgary's two-goal lead.
Jooris scored his second of the game to make it 4-1 nearly three minutes later, and Bouma increased the lead to 5-1 at 11:08.
Bourque scored Montreal's second goal at 13:18.
Price stopped 30 of 35 shots for Montreal, which lost for the first time in five games at Bell Centre.
The Flames had three players from Switzerland in their lineup, including Hiller, who improved to 5-0-1 in his past six games. Defenseman Raphael Diaz played for the first time in six games, and forward Sven Baertschi made his season debut after he was recalled from Adirondack of the American Hockey League earlier Sunday.
Calgary outshot Montreal 35-20, including a 19-4 advantage in the first.
Jooris opened the scoring at 4:58 of the opening period. Price stopped Dennis Wideman's one-timer from the point, but failed to clear the rebound. Jooris snapped up the puck off Price in the goal mouth and moved across the front to shoot past the sprawled Montreal goalie.
The Canadiens have allowed the first goal in 10 of 12 games. Their record in those games fell to 6-3-1.
Gaudreau got his second assist with a pass to Jiri Hudler, whose shot struck Granlund's skate on its way past Price to put Calgary up 2-0 with 26.5 seconds left in the first.
Gaudreau has five points during a three-game point streak, including a goal and an assist Friday. He has eight points in seven games since he was left out of the lineup for Calgary's 3-2 loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 17.
Glencross made it 3-0 at 17:53 of the second when he deflected Brodie's point shot past Price for his second goal.
