Flames Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:43:40 PST

Nine straight games with at least a point. One more to tie a franchise record.

The Flames have an excellent road record this season (9-1-3). If they can continue that roll Monday in Nashville, they'll not only equal the franchise mark, they'll ensure themselves a .500 record during their six-game road trip—the longest of the season.

Calgary's secret to success is quite simple. The Flames not only have received excellent goaltending throughout this stretch from both Miikka Kiprusoff and Curtis McElhinney, they've also shown resilience when needed and timely goals from several players.

"It's what we did tonight—try to stay with our game as much as we can," said head coach Brent Sutter.
