The local sports team faces an important test in their quest to become a contender. The Calgary Flames (34-15-7, 75 points) are hoping to bounce back from a close loss on Tuesday when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning (37-13-6, 80 points) at the Saddledome tonight.

Or will this be a learning experience for the locals?
