The Flames seem to struggle most in games that carry with them low expectations (Ottawa, Carolina, and Buffalo at the Dome), opponents against whom they don't meet very often (Detroit on the road), and teams named the Oilers (such as, the Edmonton Oilers).
But some of the Flames's best performances have come in games that matter. In their last five games in the Pacific Division they have a record of 3-1-1, with all three wins in regulation, and their last two against teams with whom they are tightly bunched with for a division playoff spot.
For all their warts, the Flames have most recently been showing up when it matters most. I expect that trend to continue tonight.
