CALGARY, Alberta -- After squandering two big leads already this season, the Carolina Hurricanes were determined not to let this one slip away.Victor Rask scored his third goal of the season, Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist and Noah Hanifin had a career-high three assists to lead the Hurricanes to their first victory of the season, 4-2 over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.Carolina had started 0-1-2 on a season-opening six-game road trip. In this one, the Hurricanes were up 3-0 before letting the Flames pull within one.Its just part of the process of learning how to win and close out games, Skinner said. They get one late in the second. You dont want to give those up, right when the period ends. They get one there to make it 3-2. We just had to keep our composure and stay tough mentally.Calgarys comeback attempt hit the wall when penalties to Alex Chiasson and Troy Brouwer in the final three minutes put the Flames down two men and the Hurricanes took advantage on Skinners second goal of the season.Skinners five points tied him with Rask and Lee Stempniak for the team lead.With a young team, Carolina coach Bill Peters says its all part of the learning process.Well get better at playing with the lead. Well get better at managing situations as we go. Well learn from each game, he said.Teuvo Teravainen and Viktor Stalberg also scored for Carolina, which won for the first time at the Saddledome in eight tries, dating back to Dec. 12, 2002.Brouwer and Johnny Gaudreau scored for Calgary.Were trying to make plays that arent there and weve got to just make those simple plays, Calgary center Sean Monahan said. It almost feels like were not on the same key. Its not working well right now and weve got to figure it out.Special teams continues to be a point of concern for the Flames. An 0-for-6 night on the power play dropped them to 0 for 19 in their last four games. Carolina went 2 for 8 with the extra man.You cant lose special teams battles in this league or youll lose games, Flames captain Mark Giordano said. Its easy to say but a lot of that is when youre struggling, it comes down to battles and winning those battles and finding ways to get an ugly one.Carolina surged in front 3-0 at 4:55 of the second when Stalberg slipped behind Dougie Hamilton, took a perfect pass from Klas Dahlbeck and beat Brian Elliott on a deke to his backhand.That made it three goals on 13 shots on the Flames new No. 1 goaltender and resulted in a jeer from the agitated home crowd the next time he handled the puck.Acquired in the offseason from St. Louis, Elliott has started the season with three straight losses. After giving up four goals on 32 shots on Thursday he has an .839 save percentage.Its slight breakdowns here and there and it starts with me. Ive got to make a save here and there too, to keep us in it, the 32-year-old said.
