ST. LOUIS -- Brian Elliott got a warm welcome in his old home.Elliott stopped 23 shots in his return to St. Louis, Johnny Gaudreau and Sam Bennett each had a goal and an assist and the Calgary Flames beat the Blues 4-1 on Tuesday night.I had so much fun playing in front of these fans and in this building that I wanted to do it again even though its with another team, Elliott said. The guys did a heck of a job in front of me to get that win for me.Elliott was traded from St. Louis to Calgary in June, and the 17,337 in attendance serenaded him with chants of Moose, his nickname, on his first couple of saves.I knew how much the fans kind of loved that. It was special for me hearing that and really kind of got me into the game and have that feeling a little bit, Elliott said. Im sure they dont like the result now, but it meant a lot.Elliotts best save came late in the second when he slid his right pad across the crease to rob Nail Yakupov on a rebound attempt.He reads the play so well, Flames defenseman Mark Giordano said. A lot of their one-timers, if you really watch, hes already there before the puck is shot. Its a confidence booster for us. We know we can give up some shots and hes going to be there to stop them for us.Dennis Wideman and Deryk Engelland also scored to help the Flames snap a seven-game losing streak at St. Louis.Kevin Shattenkirk scored for the Blues on a two-man advantage in the third, and Carter Hutton made 26 saves. After winning their first three games, the Blues are 1-2-1 in their last four.The Blues werent surprised by Elliotts effort.He was great tonight, but we didnt make it too hard on him either, Shattenkirk said. Hes too good of a goalie to not have traffic in front of him, to not have grade-A scoring chances. We didnt really do anything to make him uncomfortable.Widemans power-play goal early in the first ended a string of 19 straight penalty kills for the Blues. Wideman gave the Flames the 1-0 lead after former Blue Troy Brouwer won the puck along the boards and found Wideman alone in the slot.Engelland added to the lead midway through the first after Kris Versteeg sent him in alone on Hutton with a pass. The play started after Vladimir Tarasenko whiffed on a shot on the other end, sending the Flames in on an odd-man rush.Bennetts wrist shot went in through a maze of traffic early in the second to give Calgary a 3-0 lead. Bennett had an assist on Engellands goal, giving him his second multipoint game of the season, both against St. Louis.The game was also a homecoming for Calgarys Matthew Tkachuk, son of former Blue Keith Tkachuk, who had an assist on Bennetts goal. Matthew Tkachuk, the 6th overall pick by the Flames, was one of four St. Louis area natives taken in the first round of this years amateur draft.It was fun, Matthew Tkachuk said. Kind of an eye-opening experience too with the play and the rink you kind of grew up in, so its great to get the win. I had a lot of people here watching so Im sure theyre pretty happy.Game notes Blues F Alexander Steen played in his 500th game with St. Louis. ... Giordano played in his 600th game with Calgary. ...

No. 8 Xavier | No. 10 Oregon | Full ListNo. 9: ARIZONA WILDCATSLast season: 25-9, 12-6 Pac-12Sean Millers team could be better than a year ago despite losing three starters, but it hinges on the eligibility concerns regarding Allonzo Trier. The Wildcats brought in a talented freshman class that includes point guard Kobi Simmons, skilled Finnish big man Lauri Markkanen and wing Rawle Alkins. Still, Trier is the teams one proven scorer.?-- Jeff GoodmanBest case:?Pac-12 co-champs, Sweet 16. Arizona underperformed last season, in part due to injuries. The Wildcats were not the same defensive team, and did not have the same grit. But, this year will be a different year with a different focus. Alonzo Trier, injured much of last season, will be a top-flight scorer and Pac-12 Player of the Year candidate. The issue will be interior defense and scoring and the point guard position.dddddddddddd Parker Jackson-Cartwright returns, and Kobi Simmons comes in as a freshman who can be given the ball and take over. But, this might not be a vintage Arizona team early. There is some developing to do. In the end, its still Arizona.Worst case:?First-weekend exit. Sean Miller recruited well, but uber-recruit Terrence Ferguson did not hit campus after eligibility issues and signed a pro contract to play in Australia. With such a young, inexperienced team and inexperience at the point guard spot, Arizona might be a work in progress. As such, out early is a possibility, as it was last season.No. 10 Oregon | Full List ' ' '
