" Calgary Flames centre Blair Jones has been hanging around the Saddledome just long enough to notice a disturbing trend.

Injuries. A rash of 'em.

"It was kind of funny. I came here and I felt like I kept meeting people every day that I hadn't seen before," said Jones, who joined the Flames via trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning four weeks ago.

"Finally, I took a look at the injured list and I was like, 'Holy.' Obviously, it's a part of the game, but it starts to wear on a team a bit when you see that many piling up.

"But that's just the way it goes.""
