Just 24 hours after their victory in Columbus, the Calgary Flames (8-6-2, 18 points) are back in action! This time they face a much bigger test in the form of the powerhouse Washington Capitals (10-2-3, 23 points). The Caps ran the Flames’ show in the third period of their meeting in Calgary, and the Flames are hoping to bounce back from that outing and return the favour.
The puck drops at 5 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
