The Calgary Flames offence has become dormant during their longest losing streak of the season. A matchup with the stingy New York Rangers might not help matters. Calgary looks to avoid a sixth straight loss tonight when it hosts New York. The Flames (17-13-2) averaged 3.1 goals in their first 27 games to rank fifth in the league but have only eight during a five-game skid. They were outshot 10-5 in the third period in Sundays 2-1 loss at Chicago, allowing the go-ahead goal with 7:03 remaining. Johnny Gaudreau lost the puck after falling at the Calgary blue line, leading to the rush that set up Brandon Saads goal. Johnny got a bad edge on his skate. Its not a matter that he turned the puck over being careless or anything, coach Bob Hartley said. It was an accident. Right now it seems that whenever we need a break, its not there. We showed up to work ... but no rewards to show for it. Calgary was scoreless on three power plays and is 2 for 18 during the losing streak. It had scored four times on 11 power-play opportunities while winning the four previous games. Jiri Hudler scored his team-leading 12th goal but Sean Monahan and Dennis Wideman, who rank second and third on the team with 11 and 10, respectively, continue to slump. Monahan has one goal in his last five games while Wideman has one assist during the losing streak. Wideman is also without a point in four straight meetings with the Rangers. The Flames hope a return from a four-game trip can help them get on track. Theyve averaged 3.1 goals in 14 home games compared to 2.7 in 18 road contests. New York (14-10-4), seeking a season-best fourth straight victory, owns a 1.9 goals-against average in its last 10 games - the second-lowest in the NHL in that span. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 16 shots for the Rangers league-leading seventh shutout in Sundays 2-0 win at Edmonton. Lundqvist stopped 29 of 30 shots in Saturdays win at Vancouver after recording a 3.48 GAA in his previous four starts. I was happy when they told me I was going in again, he said. I am used to getting into a mental flow where you dont have to work to get focused, but when you dont play as much you have to work a little harder at that. The Rangers are one shutout shy of last seasons total. Backup Cam Talbot could also give Calgary problems should Lundqvist get a rest. He has shutouts in two of his last three starts. Rick Nash recorded his 13th assist Sunday to extend his point streak to a career-best 10 games, during which he has six goals and six assists. Nash is on pace for a career-best point total with 31 in 28 games. Hes been one of our most consistent performers on both ends of the rink, coach Alain Vigneault said. Dominic Moore and Mats Zuccarello also recorded a point and each has four points during the teams winning streak.
