Colborne is 3 years younger than Street and yet he has 40 more AHL games played as well as more NHL games played (and with better NHL production than Street). There isn't really very much out there to support the notion that Street deserves to be in the NHL more than Colborne, aside from the fact that he has been with the Flames organization longer.
I'm okay with Street getting a chance to show what he is capable of but I hope that in the next few games he gets bumped into the 4th line or pressbox so that Colborne can have a couple games with more minutes. This could also allow Jackman to come back in to the 4th line.
