Veteran winger Brian MacLellan, switched in and out of the Calgary lineup, needed only five minutes and 21 seconds Sunday night to match his total goal output for the season. MacLellan scored three times in the first 5:21 of the game, then added a fourth goal in the third period, while Sergei Makarov tallied twice to lead the Flames to a 6-5 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks. ``It kind of happened before you could realize what happened,'' said MacLellan, acquired from Minnesota last March. ``I got one, and the puck kept coming to me.'' With fans still finding their seats, MacLellan connected first at 1:54, then added another 19 seconds later off a behind-the-net feed from Doug Gilmour. He racked up the hat trick, the fourth of his career, at 5:21, banging a carom off the boards past goalie Alain Chevrier. ``Chevrier wasn't ready to play tonight but neither were 19 other players,'' Blackhawks coach Mike Keenan said. ``That should never happen,'' said Chicago winger Steve Thomas, who notched a hat trick of his own on the night. ``We seemed like we were ready in the locker room before the game, but obviously we were not.'' MacLellan, who came into the contest with only three goals in 33 games this season, scored his fourth of the night on a deflection at 1:37 of the third period to give Calgary a 5-3 lead. The four-goal game matched his career-best, set when he was a rookie with Los Angeles in 1984. But the Blackhawks came right back with two quick tallies to tie the game 5-5. Thomas scored first, his third of the game and 21st of the season, and Steve Larmer beat Mike Vernon on a slap shot from between the circles at 3:34. Makarov, who gave the Flames a 4-1 lead with a second-period goal, provided the game-winner with his second of the night at 11:58 of the third. The 31-year-old Soviet rookie banged in a rebound past goalie Jacques Cloutier for his 13th goal of the year. The Blackhawks, who came into the contest with a 4-0-2 mark in their last six outings, outshot Calgary 38-25. The Flames were coming off a 6-5 defeat at Toronto Saturday. ``We're supposed to be a defensive club that prides itself on goals against,'' Calgary coach Terry Crisp said. ``Mind you we're not giving back the points, but we can't keep giving up the goals we're giving up.'' Elsewhere in the NHL, the New York Rangers nipped Philadelphia 4-3 in overtime and Winnipeg edged St. Louis 6-5. _R_a_n_g_e_r_s_ _4_,_ _F_l_y_e_r_s_ _3 At New York, Brian Leetch scored at 1:16 of overtime to give the Rangers a win over the Flyers. After Kelly Kisio won a face off in the Flyers end, Leetch fired a slap shot from the right point over the shoulder of Flyers' goaltender Ken Wregget to help the Rangers complete a come-back victory and extend their unbeaten streak to three games (2-0-1). The Flyers are winless in their last seven (0-4-3). Trailing 3-1 entering the third period, Carey Wilson had helped the Rangers tie the score 3-3, scoring at 11:02 of the third period. It was the 1,000th home-ice victory for New York in franchise history. _J_e_t_s_ _6_,_ _B_l_u_e_s_ _5 At Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dave McLlwain scored two goals and assisted on Paul Fenton's goal that snapped a 5-5 tie lifting the Jets. Fenton scored his 10th goal of the year with 2:04 remaining from in front after taking a perfect pass from McLlwain. Winnipeg extended its home-ice unbeaten streak to eight (6-0-2) with its fourth straight victory and are 8-0-2 in its last 10 games overall.Brett Hull scored his third hat trick of the season for the Blues and regained the league lead in goals with 41.
