Turning it around on the road

--The Flames are still in the middle of the pack when it comes to road records, but have responded quite well since that disappointing six-game post-Christmas road trip which concluded with a 9-0 loss in Boston. Calgary has compiled a 3-0-3 record in the half-dozen road games since that debacle. Overall, the Flames have a 11-14-6 road record.

--Of Calgary's remaining 27 games, there are a dozen against Pacific Division teams, including three more versus the Coyotes and four more against the Dallas Stars, two of the clubs right near them in the playoff chase. The Flames have a 3-2-3 record against Pacific Division teams so far.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"You go on the road and get four points out of six and can look at it and say you had a decent trip. We closed the gap a little bit." --Coach Brent Sutter, whose team won in San Jose and lost in Anaheim and Phoenix in the three-game trip.
