LAST TIME IN WASHINGTON: The Flames last trip to Capital One Arena was back in October of 2021 when they took on the Capitals amid a five-game road swing. Elias Lindholm was the star on that day, recording his second-career NHL hat-trick, including an even-strength goal, a shorthanded goal, and the overtime winner. Andrew Mangiapane also tallied for Calgary and Dan Vladar started and won his first game as a member of the Flames, stopping 25 shots, helping the Flames to a 4-3 overtime victory.

"It's not so much the scoresheet that I'm worried about, it was just how I was playing, to be honest, to start the year," said Dube Friday, following the team's practice at Capital One Arena in Washington. "I wasn't too happy with it, I couldn't really figure out my game and try and pick up where I left off last year.#
