The Calgary Flames have one of their biggest road trips of the year this week.
And while it may sound overly dramatic considering the 2017 NHL post-season is close to becoming a reality for this group, games against the Washington Capitals (5 p.m., Sportsnet West, Sportsnet 960 The Fan) Tuesday, the Nashville Predators (6 p.m., Sportsnet Flames, Sportsnet 960 The Fan ) Thursday and the St. Louis Blues (5 p.m., CBC, Sportsnet 960 The Fan ) Friday will represent another set of challenges given the time of the year and their fellow playoff-bound opponents.
“I think we say that every time we go on the road,” Troy Brouwer said with a chuckle.
