The Detroit Red Wings will attempt to stretch their winning streak to 5 games as they face the Calgary Flames this evening (10 PM EST start on FanDuel SportsNet Detroit/CBC/Sportsnet/City TV/97.1 FM).
The Red Wings are coming off a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday; Calgary most recently snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
Tonight’s game kicks off a stretch of back-to-back games for the Wings (they play in Vancouver on Sunday night) and 3 games to be played over the course of 4 nights (as the Wings play in Seattle on Tuesday evening).
The Flames’ press corps is really, really excited about the Flames’ recent acquisitions of Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost from the Philadelphia Flyers. Maybe a little bit too excited:
I’m intrigued to see the new-look Flames hit the ice tonight against the Red Wings.

The debuts of Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee, acquired Thursday from Philadelphia, will come 15 years to the day of the last time the club acquired two NHL forwards in the same mid-season trade.… pic.twitter.com/GApMhH1e9T
Anyway, the Flames hit the ice at the Saddledome just after 10 AM local time, and The Fan 960’s Pat Steinberg reports that the Flames’ starter will…well, start…this evening:

As an FYI, this is a Hockey Night in Canada game:

Thing I learned today: The Tragically Hip are Morgan Frost's favourite band.

#Flames head coach Ryan Huska says both Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee will be in the mix for a power-play role. Farabee will likely kill penalties, too. https://t.co/UlD3XbrC3i
