What the Calgary Flames should do with defenseman Rasmus Andersson as the NHL trade deadline approaches The Calgary Flames [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/] (21-16-7) are back on home soil, facing the top team in the Western Conference, the Winnipeg Jets, on Hockey Day in Canada. In the first meeting of the year on Oct. 26, 2024, the Jets skated away with a 5-3 at the Saddledome. The Flames are 5-5-0 in the last ten meetings with the Jets, scoring 30 goals and giving up 30. Meanwhile, the Flames are 5-5-0 in their last ten games, having lost two in a row. The Jets, on the other hand, are 6-2-2 in their previous ten and have won three straight. BETWEEN THE PIPES Dustin Wolf [https://www.nhl.com/player/8481692] will get the start for Calgary on Saturday, his first Hockey Day in Canada appearance. He's coming off a shaky first-period performance against St. Louis, where he gave up three goals. In his career, Wolf has yet to beat the Jets, with an 0-2-0 record. He will be looking to get that first win and even out his road record this season, which stands at 4-5-1. Moreover, he'll be looking to increase his road save percentage, which is .881, in sharp contrast to his numbers at home, which are .936. Surprisingly, the Jets are going with Eric Comrie in goal, giving Vezina Trophy front-runner Connor Hellebuyck a night off. This season, Comrie is 3-6-1 in ten starts with a 2.94 GAA and .904 SV%. The native of Edmonton, AB, has never lost to the Flames, thanks to a perfect 2-0-0 record with a 3.00 GAA and .917 SV%.
