The Calgary Flames look to continue their winning streak as they host the Chicago Blackhawks at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Following a strong 5-1 victory over Columbus two nights ago, the Flames carry high energy into this matchup.
The Flames have secured two consecutive wins and outscored their opponents 10-2 over the last 120 minutes of home games. Head Coach Ryan Huska believes the team is starting to reflect the competitive form that nearly brought them a playoff spot last spring.
“They’re starting to do some things that are more indicative of a winning team. I still think we have a ways to go, but that’s a few areas, for sure, a huge step in the right direction. You give yourself a chance to win games when you’re disciplined like that.”
While the Flames struggled to score early in the season, their offense has shown clear improvement, especially at home. The Flames’ last 12 home goals have been scored by eight different players, highlighting a balanced attack. Key contributors include Blake Coleman with three goals, and both Nazem Kadri and Adam Klapka with two goals each.
With growing confidence and discipline, Calgary hopes to extend their momentum against Chicago and strengthen their position as a competitive team this season.
