Ryan Gagne discusses the Flames latest 8-3 loss to Tampa Bay on the Calgary Flames site.
-Netminder Dan Vladar has his worst outing of the season, while Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri each had points to extend their season-high point streaks.
However, there was no slowing down the Lightning as Nikita Kucherov had six points, Jake Guentzel had a hat trick, and Calgary native Brayden Point had four points.
Steve Macfarlane talks about Kadri's potential trade value this season on the Calgary Flames site.
-Last season, Nazem Kadri played like he alone could somehow work and will his Calgary Flames into the playoffs. That version of Kadri would have been a top commodity at the NHL trade deadline, in spite of a somewhat burdensome contract.
Steve Macfarlane talks about the Flames loss to the Stars on the Calgary Flames site.
-The Flames struggles on the road remain a mystery, but an eight-game skid is something that needs a quick solution. The Flames don't have a regulation road win since Oct. 13 in Edmonton and have gone 1-7-4 since.
