Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Karri Ramo made 26 saves to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-0 shutout win of the Arizona Coyotes. Ramo was busiest in the second period when he had to make 15 stops, including having to shut down the Coyotes only attempt on the power play. T.J. Brodie scored the eventual game-winner 4:34 into the second period, and Johnny Gaudreau and Jiri Hudler added insurance tallies for the Flames in the third period. Hudler had a hand in all three Flames goals to help them win their sixth game out of their last eight. Devan Dubnyk made 26 saves on 29 shots in Arizonas third straight loss. In his second straight start for Calgary, Ramo shut out his opponent. Going back to Nov. 22 against New Jersey, he has a personal 1:34:34 shutout streak ongoing. Calgary opened the scoring at the 4:34 mark of the second period. On a 2- on-1 set up by a Gaudreau pass through the neutral zone, Hudler passed the puck past Keith Yandles stick, and Brodie fired a one-timer into the net. Gaudreau got a goal of his own a period later. Sharp passing from Mark Giordano and Hudler sent Gaudreau into the Arizona zone with speed, and his wrist shot whistled by Dubnyk to make it a 2-0 game. Calgary used a favorable bounce to record its third goal. Hudler knocked down the bouncing puck in the slot on a Flames power play, and his backhander beat Dubnyk to extend the Calgary lead to three. There were no first-period goals, but Calgary took advantage of a double-minor penalty to build momentum and end the first frame with a 13-3 shot advantage. Perhaps the best chance of the period was Gaudreaus breakaway a little more than seven minutes into the game. He broke in all alone on Dubnyk, and Dubnyk made the pad save along the ice as Gaudreau tried to deke and lift the puck past the goalie.

Toronto acquired Altidore and cash considerations from Sunderland of Englands Premier League, agreeing to transfer Defoe to the Black Cats just one year after obtaining him from Tottenham.Altidore, 25, is no stranger to MLS. He played for the New York Red Bulls from 2006 to 2008 before being sold to Spains Villarreal for a transfer fee of about US$10 million.Its a project in MLS, Toronto GM Tim Bezbatchenko said. Theres a lot of travel, theres a lot of games and youve got to be up for it.Its not like youre getting on a train and going down to the match at noon and getting back in your own bed at night. Youve got to be willing, really willing, to take on this, its almost like a crusade. In Jozy were getting a player who knows all that, theres more certainty and so for us thats the most attractive thing about this deal.Toronto FC manager Tim Vanney agreed.Jozy understands the challenges of Major League Soccer, he said. He understands what this league is about.With that, we get some certainty with Jozy.And unlike Defoe, Altidore will be playing soccer much closer to home, making it more likely hell want to stay put.I am committed long-term to making this franchise something special, Altidore said. Im very excited to get started.Altidore also received a hearty welcome Friday from Toronto Mayor John Tory.Welcome to Toronto JozyAltidore - Wishing you & torontofc success in 2015! Tory tweeted.Toronto pulled out all stops last year to lure Defoe, even enlisting Toronto Raptors global ambassador Drake to bend the England strikers ear. And when Defoe signed, Toronto FC trumpeted the move with a marketing campaign titled Its A Bloody Big Deal.A double-decker bus was parked outside the news conference where Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment, touted the signing of what TFC billed as a global football superstar.Defoe, 32, began his Toronto career with a bang, scoring three goals in the clubs first two games. But he also struggled with injuries as well as adjusting to life in the MLS, finishing with 11 goals in 19 games as Toronto FC (11-15-8) missed the playoffs for the eighth straight year.Still, Bezbatchenko said Toronto FCs gamble to acquire Defoe was certainly worth it.Were not an organization thats afraid to think outside the box so we go out and we take risks, Bezbatchenko said. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they dont but thats football at the highestt level.ddddddddddddIn the end were excited where we are today and were looking forward to the next chapter.Altidore failed to establish himself as a regular with Villarreal and spent time on loan to Xerez, Hull and Bursaspor before being sold the Netherlands AZ Alkmaar. Altidore set the record for goals by an American in a European club season with 31 for AZ in 2012-13, then was sold to Sunderland, where he had just one goal in 40 league appearances.As a professional youre going to go through times where everything is not so great, Altidore said. I think in those times how you react to those moments will define you.For me, it was very difficult obviously for a number of reasons, on and off the field, for my time in England . . . but I was still able when I represented the national team to perform at the highest level. Now I was faced with the opportunity of joining a franchise where Id have an opportunity to keep growing as a player and obviously to get better. That was the most important thing for me and Toronto gave me the opportunity and I took it with both hands.Vanney believes Altidore will regain his scoring touch in Toronto. Altidore has earned 76 caps with the American national squad, scoring 25 goals, and Friday was added to the U.S. training camp roster before exhibition contests against Chile and Panama.He will score goals, I have no concern about that, Vanney said. I have no doubt hes going to be a great player and arguably the best striker in the league.Altidore certainly wont have to shoulder the expectations Defoe did last year as American midfielder Michael Bradley — who Bezbatchenko acknowledged played a role in the Altidore deal — is now expected to be the face of the franchise. Bradley, also a DP, arrived here with Defoe in January 2014.Altidore and Bradley are very familiar with each other. They grew up together and have been teammates on various American national teams, including now with the senior mens squad.Canada, who wouldve thought it, huh? Altidore said with a chuckle. Thats the thing about life, you never know what youre going to get the next day.Brazilian striker Gilberto is Torontos third designated player. In the wake of Defoes departure, Vanney said he wants DPs who are committed to the club.We want our DPs to want to be here and be connected to each other so that we can build around them and we get that with Jozy and Michael, Vanney said.They have a relationship thats second to none. Having those two connected together, the addition of Gilberto, were starting to get to the point where our three best players need to be our three best players and complement one another and then we can build with those three players.
