(SportsNetwork.com) - The resilient Calgary Flames will wrap up a three-game road trip on Saturday night aiming for a second straight win as they visit the Arizona Coyotes. The surprising Flames have won five of their last seven games, beginning their trip with a 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. But like Calgary has all season along, the club rebounded to shut out the San Jose Sharks 2-0 the following night, improving to 8-0-1 after a loss this season. Karri Ramo made 32 saves for his third career shutout, while Jiri Hudler scored both goals. His first came with 2:44 left in the second period on a wrister in the slot and the forward capped the game with an empty-net tally for his team-leading 10th goal of the season. We were pretty focused the whole game, said Ramo. We didnt make too many mistakes. We knew that we had to bear down in our own zone and battle it out. We didnt panic and stayed in the game. I think both teams played pretty well defensively. (Hudler) made a nice move and we got the win. Forward David Jones returned from a four-game absence on Wednesday night caused by an upper-body injury. Corban Knight was assigned to the minors to make room on the roster, but Knight returned to Calgary on Friday after forward Devin Setoguchi cleared waivers and was assigned to the American Hockey League. Calgary kicks off a three-game homestand on Tuesday with a rematch with Arizona, while the Coyotes will visit Edmonton the day before taking on the Flames again. Arizona hopes to rebound from a missed chance on Tuesday against the visiting Colorado Avalanche. Michael Stone, Antoine Vermette and Tobias Rieder scored first-period goals, but the Avs responded and ended up handing the Coyotes a 4-3 loss in overtime. We ended up playing too much in our zone. We gave up too many chances around our net, and those pucks went in, said Stone. Mike Smith made 30 saves as the Coyotes fell to 3-5-2 in their last 10 games. Theyre games that are winnable and we should be winning them, said Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett as his team dropped their fourth one-goal decision at home in the month of November. The Flames won the first of five meetings between these clubs on Nov. 13, picking up a 5-3 victory at home. Paul Byron scored twice, Sven Baertschi had two assists and Jonas Hiller made 20 saves for the victory. Shane Doan and Vermette scored for the Coyotes, who saw Smith allow all five goals on 25 shots. The Flames have won seven of the last 11 meetings overall, but the Coyotes have taken four straight and nine of the previous 10 as the host in this series. Air Max 270 Canada Sale .

Buy Nike Air Max 270 Canada . -- Raiders wide receiver Jacoby Ford made it through a third straight practice without any setbacks and expects to play in Oaklands regular-season finale against San Diego.I like alliteration. Its very radio friendly, perhaps not so much in print. It was the Ms that dominated the story-lines on what was a memorable weekend for the Whitecaps. Marketing: The Whitecaps should win an award for one of the best sporting campaigns this city has ever seen. Sometimes, consumers buy in early, and drive an event which then takes on a life of its own. And sometimes, a gentle nudge from creative types can spark the consumers imagination. What happened on Saturday was a perfect combination of both, punctuated by a thrilling, talking point laden 3-2 win. The level of detail and commitment by everyone involved, made for a day most of us wont soon forget. Manneh: The youngster started, and rewarded his manager with a terrific opening goal just 10 minutes in, which got the crowd involved, and the adrenaline pumping. I cant remember seeing the same player hit one post, before coolly floating in the rebound off the other upright. It was exactly what the Whitecaps needed. Morales: The refreshed looking midfield maestro ran the show in the first 45, scored from the penalty spot, and then less than a minute later added his third MLS goal with a perfect blast. He might have had two others earlier. It was the unbridled passion with which he celebrated the 3-0 goal that Whitecaps supporters will remember. He likes it here. He wants to win. Hes worth the price of admission. Mattocks: The young Jamaican has been arguably the most important player for Vancouver this season, when itt seemed like six months ago, he would be run out of town after some bizarre comments made while he was home.dddddddddddd. Hes embraced the coaching, his level of understanding has improved and his ability to terrorize defenders was plainly evident, as he earned another penalty kick on a rather immobile looking Victor Bernardez. So it should worry everyone in the Village that Mattocks had to be replaced early with what was described as a hamstring strain. The timing couldnt be worse given the schedule congestion thats ahead, and with the departure of another "M". Miller: We knew divorce was imminent, but most didnt expect the news on Sunday morning, especially after the Mattocks injury. Carl Robinson is trying to shape a young and hungry club, and while there does need to be some veteran guidance, the money versus performance return gap was widening, and becoming more difficult to justify. I also get the sense that the club wants to conduct more business, and that will be easier to accomplish with the budget relief theyll now have. Miller was a great pro, looked up to by his teammates and likely to land at least one more contract before his storied career is over. And if you turn an "M" upside down, it becomes a "W" something the Whitecaps desperately needed. With their "hang-on-for-dear-life" 3-2 triumph over San Jose, Vancouver went from being winless in four, to undefeated in three. A great start to the month of "M"ay. ' ' '
