(SportsNetwork.com) - The Carolina Hurricanes were shut out in their most recent trip to the ice, but their offensive struggles are nowhere near as alarming as what is currently plaguing the Calgary Flames. The Canes look to bounce back after having their longest winning streak of the season halted as they host the Flames on Monday night. The Flames will not have Mike Cammalleri in their lineup after he suffered a concussion in the Flames 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. Carolina won the first four of their recent five-game win streak by one-goal margins, netting 14 goals in that span. Following a postponed game versus Buffalo due to weather, the Hurricanes routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-1 on Thursday, but saw their offense go cold in a 3-0 setback at Columbus the following night. Anton Khudobin made 21 saves for the Hurricanes, who were shut out for the third time this season and for the first time since Dec. 9. "The first period was like a chess match type of game for both teams," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "Nothing was going on, which we were quite happy with. "Then, one or two breakdowns and they capitalized. Theyre a good team. They play a good system. They dont give up much. We dont give up much either, but we werent able to sustain that second and third opportunity and capitalize." The Blue Jackets were able to slow down Canes forward Jeff Skinner, who went into the game with 17 goals in his previous 17 contests but couldnt find the back of the next on Friday despite a team-high seven shots on net. Skinner could get some help on Monday if captain Eric Staal can return from a lower-body injury that has sidelined him the past three games. Staal, who had played in 191 consecutive games, was able to return to practice on Sunday and has 10 goals and 35 points in 42 games this season. "Weve got to see how he responds to (Sunday). We want to be smart," Muller told Carolinas website. "We have all the days off after that, so we want to make sure if hes ready to go (Monday), its nothing that sets him back." Carolina will now take on a Calgary team that has been in an offensive rut for the last two-plus weeks. The Flames have been outscored 13-1 over a three-game slide and 26-6 over their past eight games, a span in which they have been shut out five times while going 1-7-0. Calgary was nearly blanked again on Saturday versus the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins until Mikael Backlund scored at 11:29 of the third period in a 2-1 loss. Backlunds goal snapped a club-record 196-minute, 59-second scoring drought at home for the Flames. Reto Berra was solid in the loss with 24 saves. "I wasnt as good as the guy on the other side tonight," said Berra. "You know, the guys in front made some blocks and I was able to make some saves, but not enough." The Flames will play two straight and four of their next five on the road. Calgary didnt light up the lamp all that much in its first meeting with Carolina this season, but still managed a 2-1 home victory in overtime on Dec. 12. Chris Butler scored the winning goal with inside of four seconds left in the bonus frame, while Karri Ramo made 29 saves. That included a stop on Skinner during a third-period penalty shot. The Flames beat the Hurricanes for the sixth time in the past eight meetings, but have lost two straight in Carolina. Skinner had a goal and Justin Peters made 28 saves for Carolina. The Hurricanes activated forward Riley Nash off injured reserve on Saturday while sending forwards Zach Boychuk and Brett Sutter to the minors. Nash had missed the past five games with a lower-body injury and has four goals with six assists in 36 games this season.

The Flames had a three-game winning streak come to an end with Thursdays 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. It was only Calgarys third setback in the past 10 games. Paul Byron, Sean Monahan and Dennis Wideman scored and Jonas Hiller allowed four goals on 22 shots. Widemans goal was his eighth of the season, most among all NHL defensemen. We dont want to lose two in a row. Were in a position to respond, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. Weve been responding very well since the start (of the season). Calgary is, in fact, 7-0-1 this season in games following a loss, with its lone losing streak an 0-1-1 span on Oct. 25-28. The Flames will end a five-game homestand tonight and Karri Ramo is expected to get the start in net. He is 1-0-3 in his career versus the Devils with a 2.37 goals against average and .931 save percentage in five games (4 starts). Calgarys last home game of the month will feature the return of a familiar face in New Jersey forward Mike Cammalleri. The 32-year-old has spent 3 1/2 of his 13 NHL seasons with the Flames. He skated with the club in 2008-09 and posted a career-high 39 goals and 82 points before signing a five-year deal with Montreal the following offseason. The Flames then re-acquired him in a trade with the Canadiens on Jan. 12, 2012 and he finished out that campaiggn with 11 goals and 19 points in 28 games with Calgary.dddddddddddd Cammalleri notched 26 goals and 45 points in 63 points with the Flames last season and then signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Devils during free agency. One notable difference Cammalleri has seen with the Devils is the goaltending situation. While Hartley has rotated Hiller and Ramo all season, Cory Schneider set a New Jersey club record on Friday night with his 20th straight start to begin a season. The workload didnt slow down Schneider on Friday versus Edmonton as he made 29 saves in a 2-0 victory. It marked his second shutout of the season and 14th of his career and came on the night he broke Martin Brodeurs Devils record of 19 consecutive starts to open the 2001-02 season. Adam Henrique and Tuomo Ruutu each scored and Eric Gelinas tallied two assists for the Devils, who snapped a two-game skid and won for the third time in nine games. You look at the standings, you look around the league, weve got to get on a roll here. We needed to start somewhere, Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. New Jersey wraps a four-game road trip on Tuesday in Vancouver against Schneiders former Canucks club. He figures to start that game, but it is unknown if DeBoer will finally rest his No. 1 goaltender and go with backup Scott Clemmensen tonight. The Devils have been outscored 10-5 over a three-game series losing streak to the Flames, and Calgary is 4-0-1 in the past five meetings at home. ' ' '
