Pachal pushed the lead to 4-0 at 9:10. He skated into a pass from Aydar Suniev<\/a>\u00a0and scored with a one-timer from the point past Vanecek, who was screened on the play. The assist was Suniev\u2019s first NHL point.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt good,\u201d Pachal said. \u201cSometimes you just get those bounces. It seems like a lot of this season I haven\u2019t got those bounces, so (I\u2019m) saving it, I guess.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we fed off the crowd tonight. Coming home is obviously important for us. We want to make sure that we put on a show for our fans and end the season on a good note.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crouse made it 4-1 at 11:20. He took a pass from Clayton Keller<\/a>\u00a0and scored with a wrist shot from the right circle that beat Wolf to the short side. Keller extended his point streak to eight games (four goals, 13 assists).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to learn from it, flush it,\u201d Weegar said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got two really important games coming up (against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday and the St. Louis Blues on Thursday). These next two games, it\u2019s playoff hockey, and it\u2019s the most important two games all season, and we have to be willing to grind it out because in the playoffs, playing like that (against the Flames) is not going to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Mammoth goalie Karel Vejmelka<\/a>\u00a0didn\u2019t dress due to an undisclosed injury. Vanecek was backed up by Matt Villalta<\/a>, who was recalled from Tucson of the American Hockey League earlier on Sunday. … Mammoth forward Dylan Guenther<\/a>\u00a0and defenseman Mikhail Sergachev<\/a>\u00a0had their point streaks end at seven games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pachal pushed the lead to 4-0 at 9:10.
