Just 48 hours after suffering arguably their worst defeat of the season, the Calgary Flames (17-8-6, 40 points) are back in action and facing another tough test in the form of the Tampa Bay Lightning (22-8-5, 49 points). It’s a road game against the two-time reigning and defending Stanley Cup Champions, so it’s another measuring stick game in a trip chock full of ’em.
This game gets going at 5 p.m. MT. You can catch the action on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
