A long time ago – okay, last Tuesday – the Calgary Flames (28-22-6, 62 points) were caught off-guard by the visiting San Jose Sharks (24-27-4, 52 points). They lost the game and their captain. Now, just shy of a week later, the Flames are headed to the Shark Tank with one thing on their minds: revenge! (Also, they could really use two points in the standings.)
Put on some coffee, because this will be a late one! The puck drops just after 8:30 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
