The Flames continue to play .500 hockey, earning a 5-5-0 record in their last ten outings, most recently losing to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday 4-2.

Conversation Starters
- Ilya Solovyov and Dryden Hunt are in tonight's lineup. Both are making their season debuts and could be the spark the lineup needs to snap out of their recent funk. What kind of impact can they have against the Kraken?
