GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Calgary Flames are too many points behind the primary Western Conference playoff contenders and have too few games remaining to get almost nothing out of a game.
No goals. No points. No ground gained in the standings, and no confidence built, either.
That's why the Flames probably are glad they're coming right back to play the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night after a 4-0 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday -- or exactly the kind of game they knew they couldn't play as the NHL season winds down.
