The Calgary Flames are surging.
The Flames have won a season-best five games in a row, including a dominating 5-1 win over the host Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
Yes, those Lightning, who have the best record in the NHL.
Calgary’s previous four wins in this streak were all by one goal, and two of them in overtime.
But now, fresh off thundering the Lightning, the Flames (23-16-4) are set to skate into the BB&T Center on Friday night as a highly confident team, facing the mediocre Florida Panthers (18-18-6).
