Chicago and Calgary met at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Nov. 23 with the home team winning 5-2. Reese Johnson picked up his first two career points (1G, 1A) in the loss.
Alex DeBrincat scored the Blackhawks lone goal against the Flames on Jan. 2 and has points (5G, 3A) in seven of his last nine games against Calgary. Patrick Kane assisted on the DeBrincat tally and averages 1.42 points per game against Calgary since the beginning of the 2012-13 campaign.
