A more normal start time in Calgary to wrap up the back to back.

The Canes took care of business in Winnipeg on Saturday, winning their 7th straight, although no one was happy with their game. Kotkaniemi and Ehlers each scored their first of the season and Jankowski scored in his 6th straight game tying him for 3rd all time in franchise history and 1st since relocation. Only Chicken Parm with 7 and Pierre Larouche with 9 are ahead of him. Expect Bussi in goal.

The Flames are a bad team. With a .143 points percentage, they‘re DFL in the league. They’re 30th in goals per game, averaging 2.00 and last in goals against, allowing 5.00 per game, which also gives them a league worst -21 goal differential. Morgan Frost, Matt Coronato, Adam Klapka and rookie Aydar Suniev each have 2 goals. Joel Farabee leads with 4 assists. Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley man the crease. With the team allowing 5 goals per game, neither have a good goals against acerage, but their save percentages are also abysmal, at .834 and .818, respectively. Their special teams are surprisingly mediocre, tied for 16th on both the PP and PK.

HHN for TV.
 
Back to tomato cans with a game in Calgary, but on short rest and coming off one of Carolina's scruffier efforts of the season. Seriously ... roll four lines and let 'em figure it out.
 
Never underestimate an opponent. The Hurricanes have been known to run across Vezina-type efforts out of a net minder who can barely stop a basketball on most nights. I hate to use a Trippism, but Dig In boys!
