Edmonton at Calgary

The challenge to the Calgary Flames is extremely simple heading into Thursday's home clash with the Edmonton Oilers: Win or the season is over.

Trailing 3-1 in the best-of-seven Western Conference second-round series, the Flames are in last-chance territory to keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive. They must win three straight games against an Oilers squad that took control of the series with Tuesday's 5-3 win.

"It's up to us to see what we're made of and go out there and play our game for 60-plus minutes, if that's what it takes, to give ourselves a chance to stay alive," veteran forward Milan Lucic said.

"When your backs are against the wall, your desperation goes up and you see what your team is really made of. That's something all our energy and all our focus has to go into."

Five takeaways from the Calgary Flames’ Game 4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers

Game 1 was a track meet. Game 2 featured wild swings. Game 3 featured some really ugly breakdowns by the Flames. Game 4 might be the only game in this series where we could say that the Flames team we expected to see – the team we saw for most of the Dallas series – was front and centre. They weren’t without their faults – the second, third and fourth Oilers goals were the product of Flames breakdowns as much as they were products of the Oilers making good plays – but the Flames played their style of game for the first time in this series.
