The Flames have won two straight, most recently a 5-2 decision over the visiting Arizona Coyotes in a matinee Monday to start this three-game homestand. Derek Ryan , Mark Giordano , Austin Czarnik , Michael Frolik and Mikael Backlund scored for the Flames, who have now tallied 10 goals in their last two games after beating the Penguins 5-4 in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Secondary scoring has certainly been a big storyline in the two victories, with the club getting offensive contributions up-and-down the lineup. Ryan, notably, now has four points in his last two games … The Flames are 18-5-5 at the Scotiabank Saddledome this season. They have now surpassed their total home wins (17) from last season - and still have 13 home games remaining.

The Isles will come into tonight's tilt extremely well rested. They haven't played since Saturday night, when they dumped the visiting Edmonton Oilers 5-2 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. After a scoreless first period, Ryan Pulock and Valterri Filppula staked the homeside to a 2-0 lead before Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tallied with just three second left in the middle stanza. Barzal, Lee and Brock Nelson scored in the third to salt it away. Robin Lehner made 34 saves … Battling to win the Metropolitan Division, the Isles have been one of the biggest storylines in the NHL so far this season. They are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games.
