After a disappointing effort against Vancouver on Sunday night, the Calgary Flames (20-16-5, 45 points) hope to close out 2019 on a winning note when they host the Chicago Blackhawks (17-17-6, 40 points). The Blackhawks aren’t the powerhouse they once were, but they’re a hard-working young team that could give the Flames fits tonight.
The action begins just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
