On Saturday, the Calgary Flames (26-18-8) broke out of their recent funk and snapped their six game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. Tonight, the Flames kick off a six game, two week road trip against the very same Blackhawks (24-20-8). It’s a chance for the Flames to give themselves some breathing room in the Western Conference playoff race and put some distance between themselves and the Hawks.
The game starts after 6:30 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
