Just 48 hours after suffering a crushing loss at the hands of the best team in the Western Conference, the Calgary Flames (25-17-8) are back at it at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Tonight they host the best team in the Eastern Conference, the Tampa Bay Lightning (34-13-3), proving that the hockey gods – or ScheduleTron 3000, their schedule-making robot – aren’t without a sense of humour.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet 360 and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
