The Calgary Flames (37-16-7, 81 points) continue their trek towards the trade deadline on Friday night, as they host the Buffalo Sabres (20-33-8, 48 points). The Flames are playing in the first half of a back-to-back, while the Sabres are in the second half of their own after losing to Edmonton on Thursday night. Can the Flames cash in on a scheduled win? Or will the Sabres trip them up?
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT. Catch all the action on Sportsnet West or Sportsnet 960 The Fan!
