FGD 25: Into the belly of the beast (6pm MT, SN West)

The Calgary Flames (10-11-3, 23 points) have lost five games in a row, including their last four games in regulation. They’re facing a pretty stiff test this evening on the road against the St. Louis Blues (13-4-5, 31 points), the defending Stanley Cup Champions and a team that generally plays smart, composed, structured ice hockey. Can the Flames break their slump? Or will the Blues run their show at home?

The puck drops at 6 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan!
