FGD 42: Starting the second half in Minnesota (6pm MT, SN West)
The second half of the 2017-18 season begins tonight for the Calgary Flames (21-16-4) as they kick off a four-game road trip that takes them to three states. Their sojourn begins at Xcel Energy Center as they visit the Minnesota Wild (22-17-3), who are one of many teams in the clump vying for the final two Western Conference playoff spots. Another team in that clump? The Flames. This is the first of roughly 41 remaining regular season games that will have crucial playoff implications for the local sports team.
The puck drops shortly after 6 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
