The Calgary Flames (10-10-3, 23 points) are in the midst of a four game losing skid. They haven’t scored a goal in six and a half periods of hockey. And they’re back home for one game, facing a Colorado Avalanche (12-6-1, 26 points) team that ate their lunch both in the playoffs and in the season opener. Best of luck, local sports club.
The puck drops at 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet One and 360 and Sportsnet 960 The Fan!
