EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) - After snapping a five-game losingstreak, the Calgary Flames try to build some momentum againstthe Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.


The Flames ended their slide with a narrow 3-2 triumph over theMinnesota Wild as Kristian Huselius scored with 53 seconds leftin the game to lift Calgary to the victory.


Huselius has been terrific on the offensive end of the ice thisseason, scoring eight goals and eight assists. The 29-year-oldleft wing had a career-year last season, scoring 34 tallies and43 helpers en route to recording more than 45 points for thefirst time in his seven-year career.


Calgary should have an easy time scoring on Saturday as theOilers are one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL.

Edmonton is sixth worst in the league in goals against, allowing3.16 goals a game and goalies Dwayne Roloson and Mathieu Garonhave struggled this season.


Roloson is just 3-9-1 this season with a .890 save percentageand a suspect 3.21 goals-against average.


Garon has been the better of the two, posting a 4-2-0 recordwith a .915 save percentage, but still has a 2.41 GAA.
