Flames' Chad Johnson: Starting in net Thursday

Johnson will guard the goal against the Coyotes on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 reports.

Analysis:

The Flames' goalie has been on fire recently, winning seven of his last eight starts while posting a .946 save percentage and two shutouts during that span. He has been the crown jewel of a resurgent Calgary team that now finds itself in fourth place of the competitive Pacific Division. Johnson will look to keep up the excellent play against an Arizona squad that ranks 27th in the NHL with 2.20 goals per game.
