Just 48 hours after a strong effort in Manhattan, the Calgary Flames (5-3-0, 10 points) head to another tough building to tangle with an Original Six opponent. This time, the Flames are tangling with the Montreal Canadiens (4-1-2, 10 points), a team that has thus far out-paced the hockey world’s meager expectations for them.
The action starts at 5:30 p.m. MT on Sportsnet Flames and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
