The Calgary Flames (12-9-1) have alternated between really long homestands and really long road trips so far this season. They close out their longest road trip of the season tonight against the Colorado Avalanche (11-8-2). The Flames have been both very good and very bad on this road trip, often in the same games. They’re 2-2-1 on their trip and can nudge themselves over the .500 mark on this trip with a victory. They’re playing their second game in as many nights, against a team playing their second game in as many nights, and it’s likely that their goalie will be making his first NHL start.
