News On Fire: Flames lose to San Jose, News From Behind Enemy Lines and NHL Scores

We’ve updated NOF to make it a little more interesting for you, the reader. It’ll be a non game day column featuring the usual news and scores, but will also feature pieces from our SB Nation colleagues covering the Pacific Division to keep it Flames related. Without further adieu, it’s the revamped News On Fire!
