(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.
