The Calgary Flames (8-3-5, 21 points) will play the fifth game of their hefty seven game road trip tonight when they visit the Buffalo Sabres (7-6-2, 16 points). The Flames are in a playoff spot and have generally played well, but they have just a single win in their past five games. Can they get back in the win column and regain some of their swagger?
The puck drops just after 5 p.m. MT and you can catch the action on television via Sportsnet 360 or on radio via Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
