The prodigal son returns! The highest-drafted player in club history, Sam Bennett, returns to town as the Calgary Flames (17-11-6, 40 points) host the red-hot Florida Panthers (26-7-5, 57 points)! The Panthers are a powerhouse these days, and they clobbered Columbus 9-2 in their last outing. Can the Flames fare better than they did in their prior meeting?
This game gets going at 7 p.m. MT. You can catch the action on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
