Story-lines:
- This week will be a true test for the Flames as 3 out of the four teams have 30 plus points with Division leading Nashville being the highlight of the week on Saturday night. Then on Sunday the Flames travel to Edmonton for one of their few back-to-backs. This will be a huge test for the players.
- Despite getting 5 of a possible 6 points last week the fans, media, players, and coaches all know the Flames need to play better than they did last week if they are going to continue to succeed.
- Smith has strung 3 solid games together to create a true competition for the starting role.
- With Hathaway going down against Chicago is this just the sign of things to come with Frolik, Stone, Valimaki already out? Is Hamonic good to go Tuesday. Injuries could make life interesting.
- Kylington has shown signs of falling into his bad habits in Chicago... Will these issues be rectified?
- Can the Flames take 3 of 4 taking control of their own destiny?
- Anything more than 4 points this week should be considered a success.
- Calgary has a great opportunity to put distance between themselves and the rest of the Division.
- The Sharks have an easier week playing Carolina (Minus Ferly- Concussion), Dallas and the Yotes.
- Anaheim is now getting healthier and with all world Getzlaf coming into form the Ducks have shown they are not to be removed from any discussion about the Pacific. They play an easier week against Chicago, Carolina, and New Jersey.
