On Tuesday night, the Calgary Flames welcome Alex Ovechkin and the top-seeded Washington Capitals to the Saddledome.

The Calgary Flames have dropped consecutive games and now trail the rival Vancouver Canucks by one point in the Wild Card race as they welcome the Anaheim Ducks to town. My Flames vs. Ducks predictions see Matt Coronato stepping up and helping Calgary reclaim momentum with a much-needed victory.

I checked in on the crowded field of Eastern Conference wild card hopefuls to see where each team stood. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators have played well enough in the interim, and I’m still bullish about their chances.

The Pacific Division is fun this season. A new leader in the Pacific Division has emerged, as the Edmonton Oilers have a 32-15-3 record with 67 points.

Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and two assists to lead the Calgary Flames to a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

The Washington Capitals finally played a game without recording a point in their last outing, but that doesn’t mean they’ll slow down anytime soon. Their final game of the West Coast road trip will be against the Calgary Flames before they head East to finish the trip against the Ottawa Senators.

Rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf had 32 saves and won for the fifth time in six starts to improve to 17-7-2 on the season. The Flames hold the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, three points ahead of the Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues.

Led by Mason McTavish, they’ve netted 16 goals while winning three in a row, their most tallies in a three-game stretch in nearly 19 years.

Wolf sports an elite .936 save percentage and 1.98 GAA with 8.61 goals saved above average across 15 home games. The Flames have also been far stingier on home ice with 2.63 goals against per game and a 75.8 penalty-kill percentage compared to respective 3.29 and 67.1% marks on the highway.
