Through six games, the Calgary Flames (2-3-1, 5 points) have been very… Calgary Flames. They played three largely strong games and captured five points. Then they played three less strong games and captured zero points. Tonight they rematch against one of the NHL’s hottest teams, the Montreal Canadiens (5-0-2, 12 points), and are hoping to find the consistency that they’ve lacked over the past week.
The puck drops just after 5 p.m. MT and you can catch the action on CBC and City TV or on Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
