Tonight from Scotiabank, the host Calgary Flames look to stave off elimination vs. the underdog Colorado Avalanche.
After reversing seasonal trends, and winning three straight playoff contests against top-seeded Calgary, Colorado is one victory from advancing to Western semifinal play.
Following a 3-2 OT win on Wednesday the Avalanche have left the Flames no wiggle room in this unlikely series.
Colorado Avalanche
Since game one’s blowout loss, the Avalanche have found a weakness in Calgary’s style. During a three-game unbeaten run Colorado has peppered the Flames’ net –Calgary was noted for limiting opponents’ scoring chances throughout the regular season.
To cap his team’s recent 49-shot barrage Mikko Rantanen angled his game tying and go-ahead slaps shots past an exhausted Mike Anderson.
Now, the Avs have three chances to eliminate a group that many felt would sweep plucky Colorado.

Avs backstop Philipp Grubauer has rewarded Jared Bednar for sticking with him after a poor game one performance. Grubauer’s poise over the last three games has transformed his playoff reputation.
Calgary Flames
Once favored to represent the East in this year’s Stanley Cup, Calgary is one loss from joining Tampa Bay as another downed #1 seed.
The depth and defensive intensity which served the Flames so well all year is simply not there vs. Colorado.

Tonight, Mike Anderson needs strong defensive line support or a season of expectations could be ruined.
