Calgary Flames v Winnipeg Jets Preview 12/22/2015 (34/82)

Winnipeg Jets @ Calgary Flames, Tuesday 9 PM ET, Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta

The Calgary Flames return home to the comforts of the Scotiabank Saddledome where they last lost to Montreal on October 30th. That's a 9-0 stretch coming into tonight's tilt with the Winnipeg Jets. Calgary just finished a 4 game road trip at 2-2 with wins against Nahsville and Dallas, while falling to St. Louis and Detroit. Winnipeg took down the Flames in October 3-1 and are looking to take a 2-0 season series lead on the Flames. Calgary has other ideas in mind and would like to get back on the winning track after dropping 2 straight. Both teams have identical records and are in a 3 way tie for 10th place in the West, so this should be an evenly matched contest. Here's how both teams match up.

Calgary last played on Sunday night and took one on the chin 4-2 to the hands of the Detroit Red Wings. The back to back 4-2 loss ended Calgary’s 4 game road swing. Here’s a look at the highlights.

Winnipeg last stepped on the ice Monday night and dropped a 3-1 decision to the lowly Oilers. Here’s the highlights.
