FGD 18: The 245th Battle of Alberta (8pm MT, CBC/SN)

On Friday, the Calgary Flames (8-8-1, 17 points)… were fine! They weren’t awful, but they weren’t the better team. They get a chance to rebound from being merely fine tonight when they face the Edmonton Oilers (11-8-0, 22 points) in a rematch of one of the more tame Battles of Alberta in recent memory.

The action starts at 8 p.m. MT on CBC and Sportsnet’s national feed and Sportsnet 960 The Fan!

There’s no morning skate today, so we’re guessing a lot here based on last night’s lines.
