After falling behind 1-0, the Calgary Flames scored four straight Sunday to defeat the Nashville Predators 5-2.

Michael Ferland’s first career NHL goal was the game-winner.

With the win, Calgary takes over the third seed in the Pacific Division passing the L.A. Kings. The Kings have a game in hand.

After Roman Josi opened the scoring, Lance Bouma, Kris Russell, Ferland and Jiri Hudler scored for the Flames giving Calgary a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes.

Bouma added an empty-netter with less than a minute remaining. Deryk Engelland had two assists in the win.

Seth Jones had the other Predators goal.

Jonas Hiller made 27 saves for the win. Carter Hutton stopped 25 shots in the loss.

The Predators, who clinched a playoff spot on Saturday, had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Preds’ captain Shea Weber missed his second consecutive game due to a lower body injury.
