COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Journeyman goalie Chad Johnson, in his first season with Calgary, is beginning to show he can be a source of stability for the up-and-down Flames.Johnson made 34 saves for his second shutout in five starts, leading Calgary over the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 on Wednesday night.We just wanted to come in here and stick to our system, said Johnson, who also blanked the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 15. Get some pucks deep and wait for our opportunities and we did that and capitalized on the chances that we had.Johnson is 4-1 in his past five starts.Troy Brouwer and Micheal Ferland scored for Calgary, which has sought consistency between the pipes during the early part of the season. The Flames, whose maligned special teams came up big in this one, have traded wins and losses for five games.Johnny made some big saves for us and that breeds confidence throughout the lineup, Calgarys Matt Stajan said.Columbus dropped to 10-3-3 in its last 16 and has lost two straight at home since rolling off seven wins in a row, a franchise record.We were on the outside all night long, Columbus coach John Tortorella said. Chad saw every shot. I thought our first period was good but from then it went downhill.Calgary, ranked 29th in penalty killing entering the game, was perfect during a long Columbus power play in the second period, and then its league-worst power play added a goal in the third.Calgary led 1-0 despite being significantly outshot before Ferland snapped one past Sergei Bobrovsky from the slot at 6:25 of the third. Leading to the score, Dennis Wideman kept the puck in the zone on a play that Markus Hannikainen tried to skate out of danger.Johnson did the rest, calmly turning aside shot after shot.There were times when we were on our heels but I think we still stuck together and battled as a group, he said.After a scoreless first period, the action picked up in the second. Matthew Tkachuks double minor for high-sticking 14 seconds in put the Blue Jackets on the man advantage, but the leagues top power play only mustered one shot. The Flames allowed three power-play scores Monday in a loss at Buffalo.Sloppy, it hurt us momentum wise, Tortorella said. Four minutes we really had nothing accomplished. I think they end up with a couple of scoring chances.Calgary took the lead shortly after aided by a bad sequence for Seth Jones. He was flat footed in his own zone when his pass was easily intercepted by Brouwer at the blue line. Kris Versteeg got the puck and marched around Jones, threading a pass back to Brouwer for the doorstep tap-in to make it 1-0 at 6:35.I just tried to make a play and get it over to Brouwer going to the net, Versteeg said.Five minutes later, Cam Atkinson zoomed in on a breakaway, but Johnson gloved his shot.We were able to turn a corner after he (Johnson) stopped that breakaway in the second and we know it wasnt pretty before that, Stajan said. But then we started to get pucks deep and shots on net. We played a solid third period. Its a good road win.Game notes Brouwers goal was his first in 10 games. ... Jones played his second game since missing six with a foot injury. ... Columbus LW Matt Calvert, who last Friday scored an overtime goal to down the Rangers after getting 36 stitches in his forehead during the game, was scratched with an upper-body ailment. ...

WALTHAM, Mass. -- The Boston Celtics will make their pitch to free-agent superstar ?Kevin Durant? on Saturday evening, but their warm-up appears to have gone well.The Celtics emerged encouraged after meeting with free-agent forward Al Horford on Friday night, a league source confirmed. The Vertical reported Saturday that the Celtics and Wizards have emerged as front-runners for Horford, while the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that Horford has informed the Hawks that he will make a decision about his future by Saturday evening.That could be ideal timing for the Celtics, whose presentation to Durant would be a bit more intriguing with Horford in the fold.The Celtics are considered a long shot in the Durant sweepstakes because they are not an obvious title contender such as the Thunder, Clippers and Spurs, who have already met with Durant this week.Bostons pitch is expected to detail to Durant the reasons why the Celtics future might be brighter than those other teams. Boston has the cap room to sign two max-contract free agents -- like Durant and Horford -- without having to trim salary. Boston has roughly $55 million in cap space and will not have to disrupt its young core to create room to add more talent.Boston won 48 games last season and competed for a top spot in the East. One ESPN Insider model suggested that the Celtics would project at 62 wins by adding Duraant.dddddddddddd Adding both Durant and Horford would elevate Boston to immediate contender.Adding Horford alone would make Boston a more intriguing team in the East. The Celtics have been eliminated from the first round of the playoffs the past two seasons, and All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas has said that the team needs more established talent to make the jump to legitimate contender.Thomas is part of Bostons recruiting contingent during the Horford and Durant visits. Thomas has been in touch with both players via text message trying to sell them on Boston and has hinted that Horford in particular is interested.I just reached out to [Horford], Thomas told reporters on Thursday. I got his number and reached out to him saying, Im interested in playing with you. I just want to put that in your ear. I know the Celtics would love if you came and are a part of the organization. Good luck with the process. And things like that. And then he texted me back, he said, Im a fan of how you guys play. Im a fan of your game and would love the opportunity, but well see what happens. The time is crazy for those type of guys right now so you never know what would happen, but guys know about Boston. Guys are definitely talking Boston. And thats a good thing. ' ' '
