Flames' Chad Johnson: Will start Saturday

Johnson will be the starting netminder for Saturday's game against Edmonton, Roger Millions of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

The 30-year-old will be making his seventh start in eight games. In his last six contests, he has an inspiring .920 save percentage and 2.21 GAA, so it makes sense why the Flames would keep riding the hot hand. The Oilers rank fourth in the league in shots per game (31.6), meaning Johnson will likely need to stop a barrage to keep his impressive streak alive.
