Calgary goes for its fourth straight win after beating Minnesota 5-3 on Wednesday when Rasmus Andersson scored to break a 3-all tie in the third period and Dan Vladar had 25 saves for the Flames. Jacob Markstrom is probable tonight with an 8-6-2 record and 2.97 goals-against average. Columbus has serious problems in net as it has allowed 17 goals its past three games, including an embarrassing 9-4 loss at Buffalo when the Sabres got off to a 6-0 lead in the first period. Elvis Merzlikins gave up those six and then Joonas Korpisalo came in and allowed three more. Korpisalo is likely to start tonight and the Blue Jackets have lost five of his past six starts and he owns a 3.65 GAA this season. Columbus has lost seven of nine and it is 6-21 its past 27 games versus a team that scored at least five goals its previous game. Take the Flames as a Max Play.
