The Vancouver Canucks (7-3-3) aim to get revenge against the Calgary Flames (8-5-3) for a brutal 6-5 overtime loss to start the season with a 7 p.m. matchup at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night. This will be the first game of a five-game homestand for the Canucks, and the second of four meetings against the Flames this season.
The Canucks are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games against the Flames and 3-1-1 in the last five, so they have generally dominated their fair share of games on this ticket as of late. Given how the Flames have been surprisingly decent this season, though, it will be a challenging task for the injury-ravaged Canucks.
