For the first time in 18 months, the Calgary Flames will play in front of actual paying fans tonight when they welcome the Edmonton Oilers to the Saddledome. It’s the first normal-ish hockey game, or event of any kind, in the building in forever, and the first baby step in what could be a really important season for the franchise.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. MT, and you can catch the action on Sportsnet 960 The Fan! There is no television broadcast of tonight’s game, but the Flames are streaming it on their site (in the broadcast region).
