Rising a four game winning streak, the Calgary Flames (15-12-4, 34 points) are in for a big, big test this evening. Tonight they visit Denver, where they face the Colorado Avalanche (19-18-2, 40 points), a team they’ve faced twice and been beaten by twice this season. Can they finally solve their recent playoff rivals?
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
