Things haven’t been going great for the Calgary Flames lately. Entering tonight’s date with the Columbus Blue Jackets, they had some trouble scoring goals and some trouble keeping pucks out of their own net. That trend continued on Thursday night at the Saddledome. A familiar combination of porous defensive play and a snake-bit offense contributed to their seventh consecutive loss, this one a 5-1 setback at the hands of the Blue Jackets.

The Blue Jackets struck first in the opening frame. After an icing, Mark Jankowski lost a faceoff and the whole team basically froze for five seconds wondering what to do.
