The Flames 6 game road trip enters game #4 as the Flames pull into Philadelphia to take on the Flyers. This is the first night of back to back’s for the Flames to close out their East coast swing. So far on their journey East Calgary is 3-1 and while not scoring a ton of goals, they’re playing sound, fundamental hockey. Chad Johnson is 3-0 on this trip and has been one of the top reasons for Calgary’s success as of late. In his 3 starts on this trip Johnson has given up 3 goals and posted a shut out against a very solid Columbus team.
