After a questionable return to the lineup against the New York Islanders on Sunday, Mike Smith looked back to form as the Calgary Flames netminder was perfect in a 1-0 shutout of the Edmonton Oilers.

Smith turned away all 28 shots thrown his way as the Flames halted the Oilers seven-game winning streak in the Battle of Alberta.

It marked the first win for Smith since missing an entire month with a lower-body injury. It was also Smith's first shutout since he blanked the Arizona Coyotes back on Nov. 30.

With the win, the Flames gained slight ground in the Western Conference playoff race. The team now sits tied with the Anaheim Ducks for 80 points, two points back of the Dallas Stars for the final wild-card spot
