NHL Quarter Mark Report: Flames falling short of lofty expectations

THE BAD: Secondary scoring and special teams.
Up until Game 16, the third and fourth lines had not scored a single goal. Yes, you read that right.
Somehow Calgary’s goaltending and the top line have helped the team overcome terrible starts from the likes of Sam Bennett, Kris Versteeg, Matt Stajan, Troy Brouwer and Curtis Lazar. Mark Jankowski’s call-up from Stockton seems to have injected life into the third line over the past handful of games, and helped Jaromir Jagr and Bennett get off the schneid.
The Flames’ traditionally strong penalty killing unit is now dead last in the NHL.
Best of NHL: Johnny Gaudreau extends point streak to 10 games

WASHINGTON -- Johnny Gaudreau had a goal and an assist to extend his career-best point streak to 10 games and the Calgary Flames beat the Washington Capitals 4-1 on Monday night.
Gaudreau scored and assisted on Sean Monahan's goal, one of two on the power play for Calgary, which has won four of its past five. Mikael Backlund and captain Mark Giordano also scored for the Flames, who got 29 saves from Mike Smith.

Pathetic news day
