CALGARY, Alberta (AP) Filip Zadina had two goals and two assists for a career-high four points in the San Jose Sharks' 6-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.

ā€œIt felt pretty good, obviously,ā€ said Zadina, who just a goal and two assists in his previous 18 games. ā€œWe havenā€™t scored as a line in a little bit but we got rewarded for the work weā€™ve done recently.ā€

Luke Kunin also scored twice, Justin Bailey had a goal and two assists for his first career multi-point game and Mikael Granlund added a goal. MacKenzie Blackwood made 31 saves to help San Jose improve to 15-33-5.

Nazem Kadri, Mikael Backlund and Andrei Kuzmenko for Calgary and rookie Dustin Wolf stopped 25 shots. The Flames have dropped two straight to fall to 25-24-5 - and have lost five of their last six at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

ā€œThese are games and days that you look back on and they suck, but at the same time, itā€™s a great opportunity to evaluate yourself as a player and a person and come back stronger,ā€ Wolf said

After setting up the tying and go-ahead goals in the second period, Zadina put it away with goals 37 seconds apart early in the third to make it 5-2.

Zadina deflected Marco Sturmā€™s shot high into the air with it toppling over the head of an unsuspecting Wolf and landing in the net.

Zadinaā€™s second goal came on a shot from the left wing that got a piece of Rasmus Anderssonā€™s stick on the way in.

ā€œI think for Z, heā€™s obviously a very, very skilled player that can put the puck in the net,ā€ linemate Justin Bailey said. ā€œHeā€™s a high pick and a skill player for a reason and you saw that showcased tonight.ā€
