Coming off a pair of losses, the Calgary Flames (18-14-4, 40 points) look to right the ship when they welcome perhaps their most significant historical rival, the Montreal Canadiens (16-12-6, 38 points). The Flames have lost twice after winning seven in a row, while Montreal won on Tuesday to kick off a lengthy road trip.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
