FGD 62: Back to the desert (7pm MT, SN West)

The Calgary Flames (30-22-9) have 21 games remaining in their 2017-18 regular season schedule, and they’re not playing great at a time when the Western Conference playoff race is intensifying. They have a chance to pick up some sorely-needed points tonight against the Arizona Coyotes (17-32-10), who have been playing quite well as of late and are a group with nothing to lose.

The puck drops around 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
