After a three game home stand, the shoe is on the other foot. The Flames have three games away from home, two in the city so nice they named twice, and other such clichés.
The Flames start with a game against the perennial underachievers, the New York Rangers. This team should have won more than one cup in the past 23 years, but here we are. The game is live on Hometown Hockey, which is a gimmick I like but nobody else seems to.
Just a reminder: The New York Rangers are better than the Detroit Red Wings. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

ICYMI
Detroit Red Wings 2-3 Calgary Flames (AOT)
Much, much better. Everyone was on song. Jonas Hiller was great after an early shake, Mark Giordano was immense, and Mikael Backlund is the hero we need and deserve. Let's keep this going.
Projected lines
- Micheal Ferland is expected to miss out with a lower body injury. Derek Grant has been called up from Stockton.
