Calgary opened the week with a 5-3 loss to Chicago before posting wins over Buffalo (6-2), Dallas (3-2, shootout) and Vancouver (5-2).

The wins moved Calgary out of last place in the Western Conference and within six points of a playoff spot.

Columbus defenceman Zach Werenski had three goals and five assists over four games to claim second-star honours.
