The Daily: Flames Own Penguins, Kane Trade Talk Heats Up

Get ready, Pittsburgh. The Calgary Flames are in town and their temperature is rising again. Elsewhere, NHL trade talk is also heating up. Will the Toronto Maple Leafs hit the NHL trade market after defenceman Morgan Reilly hit LTIR? Here’s the catch, Toronto has no cap space. The Arizona Coyotes are sticking to the Jacob Chychrun trade price. Elliotte Friedman wondered aloud if the L.A. Kings were the perfect fit for Patrick Kane. 

That and more in The Daily: 

Calgary Flames

Dillon Dube scored his second goal on Monday. It was his first since the season opener. The Flames need more of this from one of last year's breakout performers. 

Hot? Yeah, the Calgary Flames have won four of five after a seven-game skid. Their latest victim was right around the corner from the Pens — the Philadelphia Flyers. 

The Flyers had to deal with a big night from Blake Coleman, who celebrated his 400th NHL game with three points. 

On the other side of tonight's battle in Pittsburgh, the Penguins seem to have trouble with the Flames in recent years. From Pittsburgh Hockey Now.
