CALGARY, Alberta (AP) -- Martin Gelinas had a goal and an assist, and Roman Turek played 40 perfect minutes in goal as the Calgary Flames defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 Saturday night in NHL preseason play.

Turek stopped all 14 shots he faced before giving way to Brent Krahn for the third period.

The closest the Oilers came to scoring was when Jarrett Stoll ripped a shot from the right wing that dribbled through Turek's pads, but defenseman Toni Lydman was there to pull the puck off the goal line.

Dave Lowry, Chuck Kobasew, and Robert Dome also scored for Calgary, which won its first game of the preseason after tying the Oilers on Thursday.

Steve Staios scored with 45 seconds left to provide the only offense for Edmonton.

Ty Conklin went the distance in goal for Edmonton and finished with 23 saves.

Edmonton was forced to play the final 34 minutes with just four defensemen. Bobby Allen left in the first period after being knocked in the head, and Brent Henley was ejected six minutes into the second for his fight with Flames defenseman Mike Commodore, who was also ejected.
