Rarely has a final score meant less. But the Flames rode two power-play goals and a stifling defensive effort to a 3-0 win over the Jackets.

Dan Vladar made 16 saves for his second shutout of the season and fourth in the NHL, and Mikael Backlund had two assists for the Flames (13-9-4), who ended a four-game losing streak with their sixth straight home win.

Blue Jackets shut out by stifling Flames, who memorialized Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau with a touching pregame ceremony.
