The Facts
- The Calgary Flames enter tonight’s tilt against the New York Islanders riding high on a five game winning streak. Calgary is coming off of a pair of impressive home wins on back-to-back nights. They beat the Vegas Golden Knights and Toronto Maple Leafs by 6-0 and 5-2 scores respectively.
- Jacob Markstorm will be between the pipes for Calgary yet again, marking his 12th straight start for the team. If you’re a betting person, tonight might be a good night to wager on Marky getting his 9th shutout of the year as the Flames host the Islanders who are 29th in Goals For per Game.
- The Islanders will be looking for some revenge after the Flames downed them 5-2 earlier in the season in the first ever game at their brand new UBS Arena. Calgary got two goals from Andrew Mangiapane and depth scoring from Brad Richardson and Trevor Lewis in the victory.
- New York got off to a slow start to the season while playing all their road games. They’ve been trying to dig out of that hole ever since and missed their chance to get back above .500 after losing last night in Edmonton. Calgary is the third stop on the Western Canadian road trip, they’re 1-1 after beating Vancouver 6-3 in the opener.
- Calgary has won three straight and five of the last six games against the Islanders
