After a rare home loss on Tuesday night, the Calgary Flames (38-17-8, 84 points) are back in action. They kick off a back-to-back set on Friday night when they host the Arizona Coyotes (20-39-4, 44 points), in a warm-up for what should be a very interesting Battle of Alberta on Saturday night. Can the Flames bounce back from a loss to San Jose? Can they avoid overlooking the Coyotes with the Oilers looming?
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT. Catch all the action on Sportsnet West, or Sportsnet 960 The Fan!
