VIDEO: Flames' Jiri Hudler sets career-high in goals in OT loss to Jackets

Calgary Flames forward Jiri Hudler helped his team better its chances at making the playoffs with his 26th goal of the season.

The second-period marker gave his team a 2-1 lead that helped them earn a single point after the team dropped the game 3-2 in overtime to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. 

Hudler set a new career-high with the goal. The 31-year-old's previous best came during the 2011-12 season, when he had 25 with the Detroit Red Wings. 

Hudler took advantage of a terrible giveaway by goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to convert on a nice feed from Sean Monahan.

Hudler now has 63 points in 69 games, which is also a career-high.
