Vegas has won two in a row and aims to close season series with Flames with a win.
The Vegas Golden Knights look to make it three in a row against the Calgary Flames 6 p.m. tonight at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Golden Knights had to rally in their last outing against the Seattle Kraken and will get more help in the form of William Carrier, who returns from injury.
“It’s nice to be out there and get some touches with the boys,” Carrier said. “I feel good right now. I feel 100 percent right now. It’s been a while since my body felt that good.”
Calgary has been struggling as of late, losing three in a row. The Flames, however, were 6-1 prior to this recent stretch.
The Flames welcome back Noah Hanifin, who was traded to Vegas at the trade deadline. Vegas also says hello to a pair of former players in Daniil Miromanov and Brayden Pachal.
“It’s a unique feeling for sure. Being and playing here last week with the team I was a part of for six years,” Hanifin said. “It’s a unique situation. I’m excited to come in here and play in the Saddledome. I’ve always had a lot of fun playing here in the past. I’m looking forward to tonight.”
