PRE-GAME REPORT: Oilers vs. Flames

An immediate bounce back from a frustrating defeat to the Minnesota Wild on Friday won’t come easy for the Edmonton Oilers, who’ll wrap up back-to-back games at Rogers Place this weekend on Hockey Night in Canada against the Calgary Flames in the Battle of Alberta.

Edmonton will be looking for a quick response on Saturday against their provincial rivals in their third of four meetings this season following their 4-2 loss to Minnesota last night, where they dominated over the final two periods with a 37-13 shot advantage but couldn’t put it together over the full 60 minutes to come up with the victory.

Flames relishing shot at revenge in latest Battle of Alberta vs. Oilers

It’s been a full month since a 3-1 loss on a fluky Sam Gagner goal gave the Flames their eighth loss in their last nine games against the Edmonton Oilers.

Flames Brass Scouting Oilers as Trade Rumors Swirl

Craig Conroy is one of several reported members of the Calgary Flames management taking notice of tonight's Oilers game. Of course this doesn't slow down some rumors that have swirled around the Oilers and Flames the past couple days.

Historically, the Calgary Flames haven’t shied away from buyouts or retaining salary

While it’s undoubtedly true that the Flames would prefer not to spend money on players that play for other teams, numbers don’t lie. Since 2010, the Flames have doled out over $14 million to pay players not to play for their hockey club.
The eight instances of the Flames busting out their cheque book to help players depart represent seven buyouts and one retained salary transaction.

Markstrom demonstrates once again why now isn't the time for Flames to trade him

The case for keeping Jacob Markstrom past the March 8 trade deadline grew by another two points on Thursday.

Without him, the Calgary Flames don’t win an overtime thriller to complete the most improbable of season sweeps against the Boston Bruins.

Without him, they don’t stay on the fringes of a playoff picture.

Without him, all hope is lost for this season.
