The Calgary Flames have won six consecutive games, including four straight at home. The win streak is their longest since winning seven in a row Dec. 1-17, 2015, and has helped push the Flames' home record to 7-7-0 after starting with three wins in their first 10 games (3-7-0) at Scotiabank Saddledome. Forward Kris Versteeg will return to the lineup aftermissing the past two games because of an upper-body injury. "For myself, you never want to come out of the lineup, especially when the team's on a roll," he said. "Even when the team's down you hope to be part of the solution. For me, it was really tough to sit out. But the team winning makes the healing process on the mind easier more than anything. … When you come and you have the mindset of play and you don't go, it's definitely a little disheartening at times. But you just move onto the next game. Today was a day where I came and feel really good and I'm excited to be back out there." Versteeg has six points (two goals, four assists) during a five-game point streak, and will return to a line with Sean Monahan and Troy Brouwer. "He's got the ability to make some real high-end plays and he makes one or two of those a game," coach Glen Gulutzan said. "Putting him with [Monahan] back there gives a bit more of a punch through the lineup." Goaltender Chad Johnson will start for the 14th time in 16 games. He has allowed six goals in winning his past six starts, and is 13-4-1 with a 1.98 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage this season.
