After playing four games in six days away from home, the Calgary Flames (30-23-6, 66 points) are back at it tonight at the palatial Scotiabank Saddledome (1983-2024). They resume their home schedule as they host the Chicago Blackhawks (25-24-8, 54 points) in another game with potentially large post-season ramifications for both clubs.
The puck drops just after 8 p.m. MT on CBC and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. Dating back to last week’s game in Vancouver, it’s their fifth consecutive 8 p.m. MT start.
