It's time for 2019's 1st game! Coming off a fiery 8-5 matchup, we get to see if this Flames team can bring their game down a level and start gathering points from the teams they
should be beating
Larkin has been great to watch this year, and from the looks of the Treliving forum... we could be scouting for our playoff rental tonight as well!
Go Flames go.

The Flames made a statement on New Year's Eve, ringing in 2019 with an 8-5 drubbing of the Pacific Division rival San Jose Sharks at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames top line of Johnny Gaudreau (2+2), Sean Monahan (5 assists), and Elias Lindholm (1+2) combined for 12 points in the victory. Lindholm set a new career high with his 18th marker of the campaign. The reunited 3M Line also had a big night, with Mikael Backlund scoring twice in the first period, Matthew Tkachuk recording two goals and two helpers, and Michael Frolik adding a pair of assists, surpassing the 200-career point plateau. David Rittich made 28 saves for his 13th win of the season … Calgary enters tonight's tilt with 52 points and is second in the Western Conference standings. Winnipeg also has 52 points, but one more win and a game in hand.

The Wings limped into the New Year, losing nine of their last 10 tilts. The most recent was a 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers at home on Dec. 31. They have been outscored 18-10 in their last four outings, including a 5-2 loss to the Penguins on Dec. 27 and a 5-1 loss to the Stars on Dec. 29 … Detroit only has two players with 30 or more points so far this season: Larkin and Gustav Nyquist, who has 10 goals and 24 helpers.
