Okay, mark your calendars for real this time: Oct. 4, 2017. And then Oct. 7, 2017. That’s when the Flames are back, for real.
Following their final preseason game on Sept. 30 during which they host the Winnipeg Jets, it appears the Flames will have three days in between games. Then it’ll be up to Edmonton to partake in their home opener on Oct. 4, and back home by Oct. 7 to host the Jets again, but in an actually meaningful contest.
The Flames are starting the season in Edmonton for the second season in a row.
