scoring for Calgary by lighting the

WENGEN, Switzerland -- Patrick Kueng gave his home Swiss fans a lot to cheer about by winning the shortened Lauberhorn downhill Saturday. Kueng clocked 1 minute, 32.66 seconds down a course that had more than a minute of racing and signature features cut off due to strong winds, to earn his second World Cup victory -- and first in downhill. Hannes Reichelt of Austria finished second, 0.06 seconds behind, and overall World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway was third, only one more hundredth further back. "Its incredible," said Kueng, who is the fourth different Swiss winner in six years in the countrys signature sports event. "Its very special for me. I think its the best place to win a race." Reichelt said he lost crucial time in the bumpy s-turns into the finish area, though praised Kueng as a worthy winner. "(Patrick) was very consistent this season. It was just time until he got the victory," said Reichelt, adding wryly that he was "getting closer" after placing third last year. Erik Guay of of Mont-Tremblant, Que., who won the final training session Thursday, lost control after appearing to hit a bump midway down and skied off course. Bode Miller finished fifth, 0.35 back, after making a big mistake in the same spot that troubled Reichelt. Millers American teammate Jared Goldberg placed 12th with a starting number of 40. Lower-ranked skiers were still coming down. Kueng joined a Wengen winners roll that includes his more heralded teammates Didier Defago (2009), Carlo Janka (2010) and Beat Feuz (2012). Kueng, who turned 30 last weekend, is having a breakout season. He won a super-G in Beaver Creek, Colorado, last month for his first career win and has also recorded two fifths -- in the Lake Louise, Alberta, super-G; and the Beaver Creek downhill; and was sixth in the downhill in Val Gardena, Italy. "Hats off to Kueng, hes been skiing amazing this season. Its really not a surprise to the racers," said Marco Sullivan of the U.S., who was 16th trailing by 0.99. The course missed top sections -- including the signature Hundschopf cliff face jump -- that usually favour pure downhill racers, and became more suited to technical, super-G specialists. Svindal now leads two-time defending champion Marcel Hirscher by 82 points in the overall standings. In the downhill rankings, Svindal leads with 360 points, Reichelt is next with 260 and Kueng is third with 221. A slalom is scheduled for Wengen on Sunday, then the mens circuit heads to Kitzbuehel, Austria, for the famed Hahnenkamm races next weekend. Danilo Gallinari Jersey .

The Flames dropped the final three contests of a six-game homestand before bouncing back with road wins over Vancouver and Arizona. They blanked the Canucks 1-0 last Saturday, then rolled late to a 4-1 win over the Coyotes on Thursday night. Joni Ortio was in net for both wins after getting recalled from the minors to replace an injured Karri Ramo (upper body) on the roster. He posted 36 saves to blank the Canucks, then turned aside 27 shots versus the Coyotes. Ortio is expected to get a third straight start tonight over Jonas Hiller and it would be his first against the Sharks. Calgary scored three times in the third period to beat Arizona. David Jones broke a 1-1 tie at 4:51 of the third period, Mark Giordano added to the lead later on and Sean Monahan finished off the scoring with an empty-net tally. We played a great (third) period. Im proud of the boys, said Calgary coach Bob Hartley. Mikael Backlund, meanwhile, opened the scoring for Calgary by lighting the lamp for a fourth game in a roow.dddddddddddd Calgary forward Curtis Glencross did leave the game with a lower-body injury and did not skate on Friday. He is doubtful to play tonight, with healthy scratch Mason Raymond expected to draw back into the lineup. The Sharks have won two straight and four of their past six, kicking off a seven-game homestand with Thursdays 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Antti Niemi made 24 saves, while Tyler Kennedy and Patrick Marleau scored 11 seconds apart in the first period. Tommy Wingels added an empty-net goal and Justin Braun had two assists. Marleaus goal ended a 16-game goal drought and was his eighth of the season. He lit the lamp for the first time since potting the game-winner in a 3-2 win over the hosting Flames on Dec. 6. The chances have always been there, so hopefully this is the start of some that should have been going in earlier going in now, said Marleau. San Jose snapped a three-game slide to Calgary with the December victory and has taken 11 of the previous 17 meetings overall and seven of the last nine played in San Jose. Niemi is 13-3-1 versus the Flames with a 2.10 goals against average and .917 save percentage.
