Folks, clear your schedules for this evening. The Calgary Flames (12-8-1, 25 points) are hosting the Winnipeg Jets (12-5-2, 26 points) in a game that pits one of the top Pacific Division teams against one of the very best from the Central Division. If there’s a game that will determine how good the Flames really are, it’s this one.
The puck drops at 8 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. It’s a national game and the second half of a double-header that begins with Toronto facing Carolina.
