The Calgary Flames (47-20-10, 104 points) enter Thursday night’s action as masters of their own destiny. A win over the Dallas Stars (43-29-5, 91 points) in any way, shape or form clinches them first place in the Pacific Division and home ice advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs. A loss… well, it might just postpone that accomplishment to the weekend. It’s two teams playing their third game in four nights, with travel, which may be a recipe for sloppy, sloppy hockey.
The game is set for 7 p.m. MT and you can catch it on Sportsnet West, and on Sportsnet 960 The Fan!
