Two nights after a dramatic, emotional Battle of Alberta victory, the Calgary Flames (11-8-1, 23 points) are back in action against the Vegas Golden Knights (9-11-1, 19 points). It’s a divisional match-up against an opponent that played (and beat) Edmonton on Sunday night and represents two key potential points for Calgary.
The action kicks off just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. It’s the Flames’ Hockey Fights Cancer game, so make sure to bring cash for the 50/50.
