After splitting their two game homestand, the Calgary Flames (4-3-0, 8 points) are on the road for an equally short road trip. They kick things off tonight against the New York Rangers (2-4-1, 5 points). It’s the Flames’ one yearly trip to Madison Square Garden, the oldest (and coolest) building in the NHL.
The action starts at 5 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and One and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. It’s a national broadcast commemorating the 100th episode of Hometown Hockey.
