Coming off two consecutive losses, the Calgary Flames (5-5-1, 11 points) aim to stay on the good side of .500 when they host the Florida Panthers (4-2-3, 11 points) tonight at the Saddledome. The Flames have played pretty well in five of their last six games, but the Panthers have been rolling along and are quietly one of the better teams in hockey right now.
The puck drops at 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
