7:05 PM EST. OT included. We’re not going to spend a lot of time on this one because it really doesn’t need much of an explanation. Ottawa was depleted over the weekend so far, Mark Stone is likely sitting again and the Sens are now in the process of trying to lock up that first overall lottery pick.

The only question here for the Flames is whether or not they take the Sens lightly and get caught napping. That’s a possibility but doubtful, as this game is the featured “Rogers Hometown Hockey” game of the week on Sportsnet in Canada. Furthermore, the Flames are 16-4 in games decided by three goals or more, thus making them the most dominant team in the West. The Flames have been home for three straight games. This is the first game of a modest three-game trip and it’s important that they start establishing themselves as a legit threat on the road again after losing four of their last five on the road. The first game of any trip is usually the best one, as teams’ attempt to set a tone and Calgary could not have handpicked a more ripe to get beat opponent than this one.
