Under most circumstances, the Calgary Flames (18-9-2, 38 points) hosting the Nashville Predators (19-9-1, 39 points) would be seen as a measuring stick game pitting the Pacific Division’s best team against the Central’s. Instead, it’ll be a test of the Flames’ intestinal fortitude as they face a whole lot of adversity at the same time.
The puck drops tonight just after 8 p.m. MT. It’s the late national game, so it’s on (deep breath) Sportsnet West, One, 360, City TV, CBC and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
If you’re coming to the game and wish to contribute stuffed animals to the Calgary Hitmen’s attempt at reclaiming their Teddy Bear Toss record from the Hershey Bears, there will be trucks collecting them at the Chrysler Club entrance and by the entrance on the west side of the building.
