Gaudreau continues to sizzle opposite Ferland

Johnny Gaudreau led the Calgary Flames to a fourth consecutive win Sunday in Carolina, remaining red-hot since Micheal Ferland was bumped up to the top line to skate opposite the shifty winger.

Gaudreau was in all three goals for the Flames, scoring twice and collecting an assist on Ferland's breakaway goal, which kick-started the 3-1 comeback win.

Gaudreau has bagged eight points on the Flames' current four-game road winning streak, and picked up his 26th point in 28 starts this season in away barns.

It has seemed as though the Flames have searched all season for a winger to facilitate Gaudreau and Sean Monahan on the top line. And it appears, at least from the options at their disposal, that they've landed on the right fit with the speedy Ferland.

They're now four points back of the Oilers and Ducks, who are tied for second in the Pacific Division with 74 points.
