Calgary Flames @ NY Islanders, 5 PM MT, Barclays Center, Brooklyn NY
| Broadcast Schedule |
| TV: RSNW, MSG+ |
| Radio: Sportsnet 960 |
The Flames brutal month of November will be close to ending when they pull into Brooklyn to take on the NY Islanders. The Flames haven’t been home in 10 days and are on the second back to back on the road trip. The Flames have been struggling to put the puck in the net and it cost them against the Philadelphia Flyers Sunday night. In 5 games on this current road trip the Flames have only scored 12 goals, but have managed to win 3 of the games they’ve played so far. A win would send Calgary home with a 4-2-0 record, a loss ensures they are at least .500 on the trip. The Flames have dropped 2 straight season series to the Islanders and will look to snap that 4 game losing skid on Monday night.
The Islanders are struggling as well and find themselves dead last in the Eastern Conference. November has been tough for the Isles as they’ve posted a record of 2-4-4. Two OT loses and two SO loses dot the landscape of a month the Islanders would like to forget. As mentioned above, the Islanders haven’t struggled with the Flames lately and they’ve outscored the Calgary 10-3 during their current 4 game win streak over the Flames.
