CALGARY, Alberta -- Dougie Hamilton wasnt going to change his approach after being held without a goal through Calgarys first eight games. His patience paid off Friday night.Hamilton scored his first two goals of the season and added an assist to lead the Flames to a 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators for their third straight win.For me, I have to get pucks on net. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they dont, you just have to keep shooting, said Hamilton, who entered the game with 22 shots, second on the team.Hamilton broke a 2-2 tie halfway through the second when, from the sideboards, he spun and whipped a shot from a bad angle over Chris Driedgers shoulder.It was the second goal on five shots to beat the rookie goaltender, who entered the game with a 2-1 lead. He took over to begin the second after Andrew Hammond left with a lower-body injury.There was definitely a little bit of nerves early, said Driedger, who finished with just 11 stops on 15 shots in his third NHL appearance. A tough game to stay into with not a lot of shots, but theres no excuses.Sam Bennett, Sean Monahan and Michael Frolik also scored for Calgary. Johnny Gaudreau and former Senator Alex Chiasson each had two assists.Brian Elliott stopped 31 shots and has started each game during the Flames winning streak.Hes a veteran guy and he knows how to manage the ebbs and flow, Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan said. Hes a worker, hes a grinder, and he stays with it and he got rewarded tonight. After those two bounces, he played really good for us.After a rocky first three starts in a Flames uniform in which he gave up 14 goals on 87 shots, Elliott has been much sharper his last three starts while yielding just five goals on 88 shots.At the start of the year we didnt really know what kind of team we were and how to play effectively, Elliott said. Now guys are really buying into what we need to do.Erik Karlsson and Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa.(Driedger) gave us a chance. They just scored on the chances that they had, Karlsson said. They scored from the corner, they hit the boards and it bounced. Thats the way its going to be sometimes.Bennett tied the game 2-2 just 1:25 into the second on a setup from Chiasson. He has goals in three consecutive games and has six points during a four-game point streak.The story of the first period was Ottawas 30th-ranked power play, which looked anything like that.Trailing 1-0, the Senators needed just 4 seconds on their first man-advantage for Karlsson to tie the game. Two minutes later, Ottawa went back to the extra man and converted again, with Turris shot eluding Elliott, who was screened by Zack Smith.Game notes Senators starting goalie Craig Anderson, coming off a shutout in Vancouver on Tuesday, was granted a leave from the team to attend to a personal matter. ... Driedger, who played three seasons of junior hockey for the Calgary Hitmen (WHL), appeared in his third NHL game -- all in relief. ... Calgary first-round pick Matthew Tkachuk played in his seventh game, creeping closer to the point where the Flames need to make a decision on whether to send him back to London of the OHL. If he plays in a 10th game, the first year of his entry-level contract will kick-in.UP NEXTSenators: At Edmonton on Sunday night before returning home for three games in five days.Flames: Host Washington on Sunday night before heading out on a four-game trip.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- A $3 billion subway expansion built as one of the main Olympic legacy projects for Rio de Janeiro was overbilled by 25 percent, a report said Thursday.The financially battered government also ended up paying twice as much of what was agreed to in a partnership with private companies, according to a state auditors document cited in O Globo newspaper.The discrepancies further cast a shadow over the first Olympics in South America. Protesters have taken to the streets to express anger over hosting the event in a country where public workers arent getting paid on time. They are upset Brazil spent 39.1 billion reals ($12 billion), including public and private money, on building venues and infrastructure for the Olympics while the country weathers its worst recession since 1930.Rio de Janeiros auditors say the subway contracts show inconsistencies such as invoices with overpriced materials and violations of contracts with bills for services that werent part of the deal. Also, some bills charged for more work than the one that was performed.The state government watchdog found the state had initially agreed with the consortium to assume 45 percent of the cost of the project. Now, auditors found the government paid 87 perccent.dddddddddddd. Rio states court of auditors confirmed the findings but said the report was not public yet because court members needed to approve the document and its conclusions.The government said in a statement to The Associated Press that it hasnt been able to examine the document and pointed out the government budget watchdog had approved the projects books since 2014. It also said the subway expansion cost well below the average, comparing it to New York, Boston and Torontos systems.The consortium said it could not comment until it saw the report.Federal police have been investigating whether the main builder in the subway consortium, Odebrecht, paid bribes to officials connected to the expansion. It is part of a countrywide probe at state oil company Petrobras that has revealed how public officials colluded with the wealthiest construction companies using taxpayers money to increase the cost of projects in exchange for bribes.The subway line, originally scheduled to open in January, celebrated its completion with Brazils highest officials on Saturday, less than a week before the Olympics open.
