The Flames had a three-game winning streak come to an end with Thursdays 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. It was only Calgarys third setback in the past 10 games. Paul Byron, Sean Monahan and Dennis Wideman scored and Jonas Hiller allowed four goals on 22 shots. Widemans goal was his eighth of the season, most among all NHL defensemen. We dont want to lose two in a row. Were in a position to respond, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. Weve been responding very well since the start (of the season). Calgary is, in fact, 7-0-1 this season in games following a loss, with its lone losing streak an 0-1-1 span on Oct. 25-28. The Flames will end a five-game homestand tonight and Karri Ramo is expected to get the start in net. He is 1-0-3 in his career versus the Devils with a 2.37 goals against average and .931 save percentage in five games (4 starts). Calgarys last home game of the month will feature the return of a familiar face in New Jersey forward Mike Cammalleri. The 32-year-old has spent 3 1/2 of his 13 NHL seasons with the Flames. He skated with the club in 2008-09 and posted a career-high 39 goals and 82 points before signing a five-year deal with Montreal the following offseason. The Flames then re-acquired him in a trade with the Canadiens on Jan. 12, 2012 and he finished out that campaiggn with 11 goals and 19 points in 28 games with Calgary. Ray Allen Jersey. Cammalleri notched 26 goals and 45 points in 63 points with the Flames last season and then signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Devils during free agency. One notable difference Cammalleri has seen with the Devils is the goaltending situation. While Hartley has rotated Hiller and Ramo all season, Cory Schneider set a New Jersey club record on Friday night with his 20th straight start to begin a season. The workload didnt slow down Schneider on Friday versus Edmonton as he made 29 saves in a 2-0 victory. It marked his second shutout of the season and 14th of his career and came on the night he broke Martin Brodeurs Devils record of 19 consecutive starts to open the 2001-02 season. Adam Henrique and Tuomo Ruutu each scored and Eric Gelinas tallied two assists for the Devils, who snapped a two-game skid and won for the third time in nine games. You look at the standings, you look around the league, weve got to get on a roll here. We needed to start somewhere, Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. New Jersey wraps a four-game road trip on Tuesday in Vancouver against Schneiders former Canucks club. He figures to start that game, but it is unknown if DeBoer will finally rest his No. 1 goaltender and go with backup Scott Clemmensen tonight. The Devils have been outscored 10-5 over a three-game series losing streak to the Flames, and Calgary is 4-0-1 in the past five meetings at home. ' ' '
