For a team coming off a loss and with just one victory in five games, the Calgary Flames actually feel good about themselves heading into their Thursday clash against the Ottawa Senators.

The Flames arrive in Ottawa on the heels of collecting a win and overtime loss against the league-leading Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flames and Senators will meet four straight times, three games in Ottawa and then one in Calgary.

"Playing against the best team in the division so far and getting three out of four (points), that's pretty good," center Mikael Backlund said after the Flames dropped a 2-1 overtime clash Wednesday night. "The way we were playing going into this trip, we'll take three out of four (points). Now we just have to reload, reset our mind and be prepared for Ottawa."
