The Calgary Flames (30-14-4) enter into this contest against their hosts the Colorado Avalanche (23-26-1) on a red hot 14-3-1 , thanks in part of the play of their goaltender Mikka Kiprusoff, who has started in 17 of those tilts, notching a 14-2-1 record during that span along with a stellar 2.56 GAA. The native of Turku, Finlands current form and his recent successes that have seen his Flames go 7-1-1 with a 1.57 GAA and two shutouts in his last nine starts in this series , make the visitors the right side again in this spot. It must be noted that these teams have played 5 times this season, with Calgary winning 4 of those contests. The only loss for the Flames came by a 6-2 count when, back up netminder Curtis McIlhinney started between the pipes.

Final notes & Key Trends: Colorado has lost 7 of their L/8 overall and have been on the wrong side of the score sheet in 5 of their L/6 home games.
