THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

  • The Flames are on the tail end of a back-to-back. Winners of a 6-4 matchup against Detroit last night, they’re in Edmonton tonight to take on the Oilers. Can the Oilers take advantage of a club playing their second game in as many nights?
  • The Oilers have to stay out of the box tonight. Calgary second in the league in goals per game at 3.71, and their power play is clocking in at a 24% success rate (7th OV).
  • Jujhar Khaira scored for the first time in 13 games with a goal against Vancouver. Playing alongside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kailer Yamamoto tonight, does he have any more in store?
