After their counterparts in China kicked off the preseason schedule on Saturday, the domestic side of the Calgary Flames will kick off the exhibition calendar tonight as they welcome the Edmonton Oilers back to the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Flames are icing a roster that’s equal parts untested youth and professional tryout players, but after a successful prospect camp that saw the rookies beat the Oilers prospects twice (by a combined 13-6 score) the gentlemen in red will likely be motivated to keep their momentum going. The puck drops at 7 p.m. MT and you can catch the action in-person (no television tonight) or on radio via Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
