Tonight, the Calgary Flames face the Vegas Golden Knights in a crucial match, aiming to bounce back from a disheartening loss. The Flames, with 31 wins and 70 points, are up against Vegas, who lead with 33 wins and 82 points. The game marks the second leg of a challenging six-game road trip for Calgary, who must improve their defensive play after a lackluster performance.

Dustin Wolf starts in net for the Flames, with Devin Cooley as backup. Vegas has Carter Hart in goal, making his return after an early January injury, with Adin Hill as backup. The game also sees Rasmus Andersson, who recently joined Vegas from the Flames, facing his former team.

Both teams are dealing with absences, with Calgarys Sam Honzek and Vegass Alex Pietrangelo out. Statistically, Vegas holds the edge, with a 53.4% expected goals share compared to Calgarys 48.1%. Vegas also leads in power play percentage. Despite Vegas winning two of three head-to-head this season, the Flames won the last matchup 6-3 at home.

The Flames must maintain their defensive structure to have a chance against Vegas. Catch the game on Sportsnet One or Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
