Not much has changed at all since the Flames and Blackhawks last got together on Saturday night. Both teams are currently on the outside when it comes to the playoffs, but the Flames are inching closer.
Tonight’s game starts a 6 game road swing for the the good guys as the Flames will make trips to NJ, NY, Boston and Nashville. None of those teams are layups and the Flames need to go at least .500 on the trip or they are in trouble. The good news is the Flames play extremely well away from home and they will have a chance to so some damage in the West if they can pick up some wins.
