CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Nazem Kadri scored the deciding goal in the fourth round of a shootout, Devin Cooley made 28 saves and the Calgary Flames beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Saturday night to escape the NHL cellar.

At 7-13-3, Calgary has 17 points — one more than last-place Nashville, though the Flames have played two more games than the Predators.

Matt Coronato and Joel Farabee staked Calgary to a 2-0 lead. Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz scored third-period goals for Dallas, with Robertson extending his goals streak to six games. He has 13 goals.

Casey DeSmith had 31 saves as the Stars fell to 13-5-4.

In the shootout, Kadri put Calgary in front when he went forehand to backhand on a deke and tucked the puck under the crossbar. Cooley then stopped Hintz.
