The locals will face a big, big test tonight at the Scotiabank Saddledome. In the final game of their current homestand, the Calgary Flames (31-24-6, 68 points) host the National Hockey League’s top team (by points), the Boston Bruins (38-11-12, 88 points). The visitors are quite good and should provide a final definitive measuring stick for the Flames as they head towards Monday’s trade deadline.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
