<p>CALGARY, Alberta — Connor Brown scored a short-handed goal and added an empty-netter for the Ottawa Senators in a 4-2 win Monday over the host Calgary Flames.</p>
<p>Josh Norris had a goal and an assist and Brady Tkachuk also scored for Ottawa. Senators goaltender Matt Murray made 26 saves for the win.</p>
<p>Elias Lindholm and Michael Stone scored for the Flames, whose window for a playoff berth is closing. Jacob Markstrom stopped 16 of 19 shots in the loss.</p>
<p>The Montreal Canadiens hold down the fourth and final playoff berth in the North Division. Montreal lost 4-1 to the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, but remained six points ahead of Calgary.</p>
<p>The Flames have 11 games remaining in the regular season, but three games in four days against the visiting Habs starting Friday will likely determine if Calgary sees the postseason.</p>
<p>Ottawa leads the season series with the Flames 5-2-0 with a game remaining.</p>
<p>Calgary was careless with the puck Monday with 18 giveaways to Ottawa’s nine. The Flames gave up a short-handed goal to the Senators with 56 seconds remaining in the second period to trail 2-1. </p>
<p>Stone pulled the Flames within a goal at 10:47 of the third with a slap shot through traffic from the point.</p>
<p>Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk fell and lost the puck skating the puck out of Calgary’s zone for Brown to corral and score the empty-net goal.</p>
<p>Norris converted an Ottawa man advantage wiring the puck over Markstrom’s glove at 7:52 for a 3-1 lead. </p>
<p>Calgary didn’t score on its power play late in the second period, nor did it during consecutive Ottawa minors early in the third.</p>
<p>Brown scored his third short-handed goal of the season backhanding in a rebound on a 2-on-1 with Nick Paul. Brown had intercepted Noah Hanifin’s pass in the defensive zone to start the rush.</p>
<p>Lindholm pulled the Flames even at 11:23 of the first period for his fourth goal and eighth point in his past six games. </p>
<p>Murray made the initial stop on Lindholm, but the puck trickled between the goaltender’s pads for him to shovel in on a second effort.</p>
<p>A Flames turnover on the offensive blue line and another along the boards in their own end led to Tkachuk’s goal at 9:50. </p>
<p>Tkachuk took Juuso Valimaki’s errant pass and roofed a wrist shot over Markstrom.</p>
<p>Calgary’s Brett Ritchie and Ottawa’s Josh Brown fought at the end of the first period.</p>
<p>NOTES: A pregame ceremony at the Saddledome celebrated Milan Lucic reaching 1,000 games April 13 while the Flames were on a road trip. The Flames all wore Lucic’s name and No. 17 in warmup . . . . . Ottawa’s Norris has three goals and five assists in his past five games.</p>
