After all sorts of delays, the Calgary Flames (21-13-6, 48 points) finally hit the midway point of their schedule on Tuesday night. And they do it down in the heart of Texas against the Dallas Stars (23-17-2, 48 points), their most recent playoff opponent and a team who they’ll need to figure out how to beat in order to have playoff success.
This game gets going just after 6:30 p.m. MT. You can catch the action on Sportsnet West, and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
