Just The Facts (Mostly Facts)
-Calgary is 2-2-1 in their las five and have looked sloppy. Their last two losses have come to teams in the lower half of the league in Buffalo and San Jose.
-Calgary was shuffling their lines at practice this week and it looks like newcomer Ryan Carpenter could be inserted into the lineup tonight.
-Itโs also looking like Sean Monahan will be a healthy scratch tonight against the โYotes. Monahan has had a brutal season and if practice is any indication, heโs on his way to the press box for the first time, as a healthy scratch, since 2016.
-Arizona is abysmal this season. They are tied for dead last in the league with Montreal in points (44). Theyโre also bottom five in GF, PP%, PK% and Shots Per Game. Where they do rank up near the top is in GA (224) and thatโs not a good thing.
-Arizonaโs -64 goal differential is the second worst in the NHL, behind Montrealโs horrific -79.
-The Flames may luck out and miss one of the NHLโs best hand throwers in Liam OโBrien. The Arizona tough guy is listed on IR with an upper body injury and he is second overall in fighting majors in the league this year with 10.
-The Flames are 7-3-0 against the Coyotes at the Saddledome in their last 10 and have won four straight on home ice against the Desert Dogs.
