5 Things - Flames vs. Oilers
Battle Stations
One game left before the NHL breaks for the Winter Olympics.
And what a capper for the Flames, who wrap up their pre-Olympic schedule on Scotiabank Saddledome ice with a Battle of Alberta against the Oilers. SECURE TICKETS
Monday's contest against the Maple Leafs was noisy - raucous, even - and this evening's matchup promises more of the same as Calgary looks to go into the break on a winning note.
And that 4-2 setback against Toronto nearly took a similar turn to their season-opener against Edmonton. An early three-goal deficit, followed by a furious comeback only this time, the third-period chances the Flames were able to generate just couldn't fall in.
"We have a lot of guys that battle hard in this room, we have really good leaders that lead the way," forward Joel Farabee said post-game. "There’s no quit, ever, in this locker room. I’ve always appreciated that since I’ve come here."

Flames centre Nazem Kadri climbs to top tier in latest Daily Faceoff trade board
Daily Faceoff’s Matt Larkin compiles the board, which includes four tiers of players that could potentially be moved by this year’s official trade deadline of Mar. 6. Landing in the top tier of “Obvious trade candidates” this week is Calgary Flames centreman Nazem Kadri, previously listed as just a “name to keep an eye on.” Kadri is now grabbing headlines, after Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported the Flames are open to moving him.
Why Flames plan to manage Parekh carefully even after impressive return
Zayne Parekh just delivered the best performance of his young NHL career, and Calgary Flames fans should savour it.
Because as good as he looked Monday night against the Maple Leafs, he won’t be playing all 27 games the rest of the way.
That’s not speculation. That’s straight from Ryan Huska, who told Sportsnet the 19‑year‑old will be on a schedule for the remainder of the season — a load‑management plan designed to protect a still‑growing defenceman from a punishing stretch that includes 16 games in March alone.
