Calgary Flames (19-23-3, 41 pts) - Montreal Canadiens (20-15-9, 49 pts)
The Flames are about to embark on a three game homestand against the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary’s season will either live or die with this series. Calgary is currently eight points behind the fourth place Canadiens and a sweep keeps their playoff hopes on life support, but anything less than a sweep pretty much puts the nail in the proverbial coffin.
Montreal has played 44 games, the Flames 45. This pretty much levels the playing field as Montreal had three games in hand until Calgary’s schedule kept them off for most of the week and the Canadiens were able to make up some of their games that were postponed to due to Covid-19.
