FGD #6: Home Ice Advantage - the Flames host Washington
(Sergei Belski-USA Today Sports)
It's probably premature to call the sixth game of the 2015-16 campaign a must-win for the Calgary Flames, but it's rapidly approaching that status.
After five games of uneven play and underachieving, the Calgary Flames (1-4-0) face a big challenge in the form of Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals (3-1-0). While the Flames have struggled, losing three straight (and all against conference rivals), the Capitals have won two in a row by identical 4-1 scores. Now, they hit the road for a three-game Western Canadian swing.
The Flames hope to give them an inhospitable welcome.
