NY Islanders at Calgary

The Flames have been part of a league-high 24 one-goal games, in which they have posted a disappointing 10-7-7 record. Hurting Calgary's cause is a team-wide 8.7 percent shooting rate, ahead of only the Anaheim Ducks and Chicago Blackhawks, who are 30th and 32nd in the overall league standings.

As tough as it has been for the Flames to score goals, they believe better days are ahead.

"The last few weeks, we've been playing the way we want," said center Nazem Kadri, who was selected to the All-Star Game on Thursday. "Obviously, we could have played a little bit better the last couple games, but sometimes that's how it goes. You've got to regroup, reset and get ready to get a big win (on Friday)."

Along the way, the Flames are looking for another element in their game: emotion. The disappointment of dropping the game in Winnipeg could be much-needed fuel in that regard, with a few players believing they let slip away a game they should have won.
