NEW YORK -- The Calgary Flames will have the New York City skyline as a backdrop for their Saturday practice.
The Flames are scheduled to skate outside on Lasker Rink in Central Park's north end. A team spokesman said the Flames will put on their equipment at their hotel and take a bus to the rink and back.
The Winnipeg Jets (2013), Philadelphia Flyers and Florida Panthers (2011) have also held practices at Lasker, used as a swimming pool in the summer and a two-sheet skating rink in winter.
