FGD 36: The Crosby-less Penguins visit (7pm MT, SN West)

With their seven game winning streak finally snapped on Saturday by the visiting Carolina Hurricanes, the Calgary Flames (18-13-4, 40 points) look to start a new streak when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins (19-10-4, 42 points) tonight at the Saddledome. The Penguins are missing Sidney Crosby from their lineup, but remain a talented and formidable hockey club. Can the Flames bounce back from their first loss in weeks?

The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
