LAST TIME THEY MET IN THE PLAYOFFS:
In 2004, the sixth-seeded Calgary Flames knocked off the third-seeded Vancouver Canucks in a seven-game series. Vancouver won Game 6 on the road in the third overtime, but Calgary recovered to take Game 7 in overtime as Martin Gelinas scored his first winner in Calgary’s run to the final. The last three times the Flames and Canucks have met in the post-season, the winner went to the Stanley Cup final.
KEY INJURIES
Vancouver: Zack Kassian (day-to-day: back), Brad Richardson (day-to-day: ankle).
Calgary: Mark Giordano (IR: torn biceps), Ladislav Smid (IR: neck), Paul Byron (day-to-day: lower body), Karri Ramo (day-to-day: leg), Lance Bouma (day-to-day: upper body).
HOME ICE ADVANTAGE YET TO BE DETERMINED
If Vancouver loses in regulation, and Calgary beats Winnipeg in either regulation or overtime, Calgary will clinch the 2nd division spot.
