CALGARY It took Sean Monahan breaking out of his goal-scoring slump to set the offensive tone for the Calgary Flames.
Monahan snapped a 13-game goalless drought and ignited Calgary’s offence as the Flames defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 on Saturday.
Backed by a 17-save shutout by Jacob Markstrom, the Flames (17-21-3) halted their four-game losing skid with their largest win of the season.

Backed by a 17-save shutout by Jacob Markstrom, the Flames (17-21-3) halted their four-game losing skid with their largest win of the season. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be a go-to guy, somebody who will provide offence, said Monahan, who had not scored since March 13. When you’re not doing that, it gets frustrating. When you don’t score for a while, and obviously it was the first one of the game, it feels good.
After a scoreless first period, Monahan got the first in a barrage of goals for the Flames in the second. Alone at the side of the net, he capitalized on a defensive mix-up from the Oilers and converted Andrew Mangiapane’s pass at 3:12.
