It’s safe to say the Calgary Flames tested Elvis Merzlikins during Wednesday’s game in Columbus.
The Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender made 56 saves in 60 minutes during his team’s 6–0 loss to the Calgary Flames on Jan. 26.
Matthew Tkachuk led the way with two goals for Calgary, which set a franchise record with 62 shots in the contest.
Prior to Wednesday’s game, the Flames’ all-time highest single-game shot output came during the franchise’s tenure in Atlanta.
Back on Mar. 15, 1977, the Georgia-based Flames registered 59 shots on goal in a 7–3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
