Flames at Avalanche Game Thread

Despite all the hub-bub about the Flames possibly acquiring Avalanche holdout Ryan O’Reilly, there is a game to be played tonight, and it’s an important one for the Flames. The Avs are one point behind the Flames and a regulation win would allow them to leap-frog Calgary into twelfth place. If the Flames win tonight and the Sharks lose in regulation, they would tie Minnesota with 20 points and would be just two points out of a playoff spot.

To the lines!
