The Calgary Flames (35-26-7, 77 points) were on display in their full range on Wednesday night. There were iffy goals against and shoddy defensive play. But there was also some smart goaltending and a superb third period comeback to capture a win. They’ll need to be much more consistent against the Arizona Coyotes (33-27-8, 74 points), a divisional foe with a white-hot goalie in Darcy Kuemper.
The action starts just after 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
