Just The Facts (Mostly Facts)
-Arizona is bad. Like, bottom of the league in most categories bad: worst PP, 2nd to worst PK, most goals allowed, 2nd least goals scored
-Despite being that bad, three of Arizona’s 22 points have come against the best team in the Central Division, the Colorado Avalanche.
– Since coming back from the Christmas Break, Arizona has played 15 games and are 5-9-1 over that stretch, with a 5 game losing skid being the lowest point of that time frame.
-Arizona has allowed 79 goals at home, which is third worst in the league and their 15 home losses is the worst overall this season.
-Liam O’Brien leads the NHL in PIM with 89 this season and he leads the NHL in fighting majors with 9.
-The Flames are 7-3-0 in their last 10 meetings with Arizona, but are 3-3-0 in their last six trips to the desert.
-Calgary can extend their winning streak to 3 with a victory tonight.
