The Calgary Flames picked up their first win of the season, and continued to tinker with the roster, bringing in fresh(ish) faces on both offense and defense via trade. 

Calgary snuck past Columbus 4-3 behind Raimo Helminem's 4th goal of the season. Raimo potted the game winner with just over 4 minutes remaining in the 3rd period. Helm's 4 goals lead the Flames, who continue to struggle with discipline. While their 156 penalty minutes are not the worst in the league, it's still an average of over 30 PIMs per game. Brian Rolston netted his first goal of the season, which is a welcome sight for Flames fans. 

Following the game, Calgary made a couple of moves to perhaps address the slow start and improve the discipline, albeit slightly. Familiar face Luciano Borsato was brought back from Quebec. After the Nords outbid Calgary for his services prior to last season, Calgary had been on the hunt to bring him back into the fold. Shawn Bates and a 3rd round draft pick were sent to Quebec in the deal. Gino Ojdick was sent to fellow Canadian team Edmonton, in exchange for some blue line help in the form of Peter Popovich. Both players hope to begin making an impact for the Flames starting with their next game.

After the 1-4 start, Calgary is rumored to still be on the hunt for line up adjustments. Perhaps the most pressing need, outside of the lack of discipline, is in net. Could the Flames be looking to upgrade between the pipes?
