The Calgary Flames will start a five-game road trip on Wednesday by taking on the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre.
The Flames are heading on the road after posting a 3-2-0 record during a five-game homestand. It began with three straight wins but ended disappointingly. Over the weekend, the Nashville Predators edged Calgary 4-3 at the Scotiabank Saddledome, and the Seattle Kraken routed them 5-1 on Monday night.
Calgary had beaten Seattle in 11 of 16 previous all-time meetings. On Monday, things also started well for Ryan Huska’s team, with Adam Klapka opening the scoring in the first period. But the Kraken turned the tables on Calgary with a four-goal third period.
Huska’s side will now try to avoid its first three-game slide in two months. This will be challenging, as Montreal has played at a high level for most of the season. Since a four-game losing streak in late November, the team has suffered only nine more defeats.
Showing good consistency, the Canadiens are in a race to win the Atlantic Division. They sit just two points out of first place, trailing the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning. The 24-time Stanley Cup champions have not claimed a division title since 2017.
