Calgary backup Curtis McElhinney stopped Anton Stralman in the fourth round, and Jamie Lundmark followed with the shootout winner in the Flames' 4-3 comeback victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
With the Blue Jackets seemingly in control late in the third period with a 3-1 lead, Calgary's Dustin Boyd and Nigel Dawes scored in a 1:19 span to tie it.
Making only his second start, McElhinney made 29 saves to push the Flames' road points streak to nine games. The Flames, playing the second game of a six-game trip, are 9-1-3 on the road.
Rick Nash and Marc Methot scored 1:03 apart late in the second period to give Columbus the lead. The Blue Jackets have lost a season-worst five in a row.
Olli Jokinen had a goal and assist, and Jarome Iginla had two assists for Calgary.
Jared Boll also scored, and Kristian Huselius added two assists for Columbus, returning home after a five-game trip.
Not only did McElhinney stop the puck, but also Stralman who strangely crashed into the netminder on his shooutout attempt. Lundmark came through with a high shot past Steve Mason, who also put aside 29 shots.
Calgary's Mark Giordano rang a shot off the post early in overtime and Columbus' R.J. Umberger cut in alone but couldn't beat McElhinney late in the extra session.
On the Flames' game-tying sequence, Jokinen, working behind the net, centered a nifty backhand pass that Boyd backhanded past Mason, who was leaning the wrong way, at 14:14 for his fourth.
Then from nearly the same spot behind the net, Moss fed Dawes in the slot. He one-timed a low shot for his seventh at 15:32 and extending his goal streak to three games.
A tight-checking scoreless affair after one period made way for back-and-forth play in the middle stanza with Columbus skating off ahead.
Jokinen atoned for a first period wide-open net miss by slotting home a rebound for his fifth at 5:29 on the power play to open the scoring.
