The Calgary Flames (25-16-4) have been off since Sunday, when they beat the Carolina Hurricanes. The Winnipeg Jets (26-13-7) have been off since Saturday, when they lost to the Minnesota Wild. Now both Western Canadian clubs meet in an effort to shake off the rust of their bye weeks, capture some points, and to celebrate Hockey Day in Canada by kicking off the All-Canadian triple-header. Gimmicky triple-header or no, it’s an important game between two teams that could really use two points in the Western Conference playoff race.
