The Calgary Flames (0-0-0, 0 points) kick off their 2018-19 regular season in a familiar way, facing the Vancouver Canucks (0-0-0, 0 points) at Rogers Arena. These teams are old friends, having faced off several times over the years in key games so why not begin the hockey season with another round of this rivalry?
The puck drops at 8 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West (and the other national feeds) and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. Dave Randorf and Louie DeBrusk have the call on the TV side tonight.
