Joni Ortio made 28 saves for his second career shutout, Johnny Gaudreau and Mikael Backlund each scored two goals and the Calgary Flames snapped a two-game losing skid with a 5-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.

Joe Colborne also scored for the Flames, who played their final game against their Alberta rivals at Rexall Place in Edmonton, with the Oilers moving into a new downtown arena next season.

The Oilers have lost three straight and five of their last six, and were shut out for the third time in their last eight home games.
