Flames vs Devils: Battle for Supremacy

0:00With the Calgary Flames today, March 12th, the Calgary Flames head to newer tonight for a match-up against the New Jersey Devils. The Flames sit at 25 wins, 32 losses, and 7 overtime losses for 57 points coming off back-to-back road defeats. The Devils hold a stronger record of 32 wins, 30 losses, and 2 overtime losses, totaling 66 points. Earlier this week, the Flames drop games to Washington and the New York Rangers by a combined score of 11 to 3. They've been experimenting with new line-up combinations during this evaluation stretch, but mistakes and shaky special teams have hurt them. Meanwhile, the Devils split their weekend back-to-back, beating the Rangers before falling to Detroit. With some rest under their belts, they could have fresh legs against the tire Flames squad that's already played twice this week. Both teams are dealing with injuries, keeping players like Calgary's Jonathan Huberdo and New Jersey's Brett Pessiao. Stats show the Flames struggling on the power play at 16%, while strong on the penalty kill at 81%.

1:05The Devils edge them in expected goals and have the better overall power playing. This is the second meeting this season, after the Devils won an overtime back in January and Calgary. Dustin Wolf starts a net for the Flames, with Jacob Marchstrom projected for New Jersey. Catch the action at 5pm, mountain time on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960, the fan.
