Flames maintain NHL playoff push

19 March 2010 / REUTERS/AP, DENVER
Rene Bourque scored twice to help the Calgary Flames hold off the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Wednesday for a first win over their Northwest Division rivals in five attempts this season.
The win moved the Flames (35-26-9) a point behind the Detroit Red Wings for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Calgary cruised to a 3-0 lead, Eric Nystrom’s goal sandwiched between Bourque’s brace, before the Avs fought back. Chris Durno got Colorado (40-24-6) on the board in the second period and Milan Hejduk made it 3-2 with 33 seconds left in the game. Bourque recognized how crucial his second goal was. ”It was huge,” he told reporters. “To get one there made a big difference in the game.” Other NHL results: New Jersey 5, Pittsburgh 2 and Anaheim 4, Chicago 2.
