Calgary Flames
World Championship schedule: When are the Flames playing?
Sixteen teams, 56 games. It's a lot of round robin hockey, and only five teams have Flames on them. Here's when they're all playing.
Team Canada (Monahan), Team USA (Gaudreau), Team Sweden (Backlund), Team Switzerland (Baertschi), and Team Czech Republic (Hudler) all have a Flame on them, so understandably, they're probably the ones you want to watch.
Below is a quick and easy guide for when they'll be playing in the preliminary rounds. Flame vs. Flame match-ups have been bolded.
All of Team Canada and Team USA's games will be broadcast by TSN in Canada, while you may have to resort to other methods to watch Team Sweden, Team Switzerland, and Team Czech Republic.
The preliminary round runs from May 9-20, with playoffs beginning on May 22.
