WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Calgary Flames (41-27-4) at Washington Capitals (46-17-8), 5 p.m. MT at the Verizon Center, TV: Sportsnet West, radio: Sportsnet 960 The Fan
The National Hockey League schedule makers look like geniuses, pitting the Calgary Flames against the Washington Capitals at this time of the year.
Because given the way the Flames (41-27-4) are rolling — and given the way the Eastern Conference-leading Capitals (46-17-8) can provide a challenge — it’s bound to be a good one.
“Just like Pittsburgh and the Boston games before, the teams that are rolling, top teams … it’s going to be a heckuva game,” said Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan.
