After racking up a pair of pretty decent wins at home last week, the Calgary Flames hit the road this week for a four-game, eight-day road trip with visions of getting back to .500 tumbling around the back of their minds. The first step in the "Back To Respectability Tour" goes tonight in Sunrise, Florida, as they visit the Panthers.
The Flames (5-9-1) have quietly been playing some good hockey of late, and have been rewarded with wins in three of their last four games and points in four of their last six. They hope to build upon their modest success tonight against the Panthers (5-6-3), who have gotten very good goaltending but just have a knack for not getting the right goal at the right moment (and giving up the wrong goal at the wrong moment).
