CALGARY, Alberta -- Sean Monahans overtime goal brought a sense of relief to the Calgary Flames locker room.Monahan scored 2:26 into overtime, giving Calgary its first win of the season, 4-3 over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.The 22-year-old made a nifty move and beat Robin Lehner over his shoulder for his first of the season after being set up alone in front by Johnny Gaudreau.Everybody needed that goal, and when I say everybody, probably the fans, the coaches and Mony himself, said Glen Gulutzan, who earned his first victory as Calgarys coach.After dropping back-to-back games in Edmonton and then losing in overtime in Vancouver on Saturday, the Flames had pressure building on a team expected to take a giant step forward in 2016-17.When you win, it brings confidence, Monahan said. As a group, its home ice and the way that we battled back and found a way to win is big for our team.Matthew Tkachuk got his first NHL goal, and Michael Frolik and Micheal Ferland also scored for Calgary.Zemgus Girgensons, Ryan OReilly and Marcus Foligno scored for Buffalo.Calgary trailed 2-1 entering the third period but tied it at 1:10. Folignos turnover in his own corner was taken by Ferland, who darted straight to the net and lifted a backhand into the top corner.Foligno made up for his error on his next shift, with a nifty inside-out move to sidestep Deryk Engelland and then flicking a high shot past Chad Johnson on the glove side.The Flames got it back to even once more at 4:52 on Tkachuks goal. The 18-year-old snapped a shot from off the wing that beat Lehner over his shoulder on the short side.Obviously unbelievable, Tkachuk said. You dream about scoring in the NHL for a long time. Now that Ive got the first one out of the way, hopefully we can just keep rolling as a team.Tied 1-1 after the first period, OReilly put the Sabres into the lead on a power play and via some misfortune for Calgary defenseman Dougie Hamilton.OReillys slap shot from the top of the circle was kicked out by the right pad of Johnson but the puck hit Hamilton in his chest and bounced into the net.I dont think theres many positives to take at all, OReilly said. Our compete level, our execution was just embarrassing. Thats not the way we want to be. We want to be a consistent team. We have to be a lot better.OReillys goal came shortly after a stretch of nearly 18 minutes in which the Sabres never generated a shot. However, Calgary could not solve Lehner during that stretch, which involved a couple squandered power plays including a 5 on 3.Johnson made 18 saves for the victory. Lehner had 30 stops in the loss.Calgary tied the game 1-1 at 16:12 of the first period.In their first stretch of sustained pressure, the Flames eventually capitalized with Frolik digging out a loose puck lying by the pad of Lehner and sliding in his third goal.Buffalo opened the scoring at 7:25, taking advantage of a mishandling of the puck by Calgary defenseman TJ Brodie. Tyler Ennis was the beneficiary of the turnover and he zipped a pass in front where Girgenson deflected it into the top corner.Game notesGaudreau was blanked again and has been held to just one assist in four games. ... Veteran defensemen Dennis Wideman and Nicklas Grossmann were scratches for the Flames as rookie Brett Kulak got in the line-up again.

Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday.Ulster opened their Guinness PRO12 campaign with a maximum point return after slaying the Newport Gwent Dragons with a 29-8 five-try bonus point victory.Replacement winger Rob Lyttle scored twice for Les Kisss side, his tries coming in each half and his second securing the bonus, while Jacob Stockdale, Ruan Pienaar and skipper Rob Herring added the others.And, in the aftermath of this weeks controversial announcement of the IRFUs decision to block any further extension of Pienaars deal beyond this season, the South African produced another hugely impressive display which bagged the man-of-the-match award to huge acclaim from the home crowd after he had scored nine points.Even though it marked the competitive debut of Charles Piutau, this was Pienaars night and he made his presence felt on what will now be his last season at Ulster.The visitors started brightly and Nick Macleod kicked a sixth-minute penalty to open the scoring after Roger Wilson had been penalised, and five minutes later the Dragons grabbed a try after turning over Ulster in midfield.Macleod cross-kicked for winger Pat Howard who easily beat Clive Ross to the ball and the touchdown in the left corner though Macleod failed to convert.Rattled, Ulster re-grouped and after turning the ball over in their own half, Pienaar broke clear and his kick through was touched down by Lyttle after Howard over-ran it.dddddddddddd Pienaar converted after a lengthy consultation with the TMO had gone Ulsters way.The hosts got their second four minutes later - and took the lead for the first time - when winger Jacob Stockdale kicked through and collected the ball to touch down in the corner with Pienaars missed conversion keeping the score 12-8 at the break.Three minutes after half-time and Pienaar struck again after charging down Carl Meyers kick to score near the sticks but he failed with the conversion to leave Ulster nine points in front.The bonus point now looked inevitable and it duly arrived five minutes after the hour.Franco van der Merwe took an overthrown lineout form the Dragons and when Ulster spun the ball right, Charles Piutau could not wriggle free but gave Lyttle a pass which he gathered before spectacularly diving in at the corner, just avoiding touch.Again, Pienaar failed to land the difficult conversion but Ulster were home and dry at 22-8.Herring crossed for the hosts fifth try off a lineout maul in the 72nd minute which Pienaar converted.
