Tuesday night's game at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, is the first time these teams square off this season.

Matt Coronato scored a natural hat trick, Dustin Wolf made 30 saves and the Calgary Flames beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 on Thursday night

More than a week into their season long, five-game, 12-day road trip, the Caps begin to make their way back east as they visit the Flames in Calgary on Tuesday. For the first time in calendar 2025, the Caps come into the Calgary game on the heels of a regulation loss, a 2-1 setback to the Canucks in Vancouver on Saturday.

Credit to Pierre-Luc Dubois, who continues to be red-hot for Washington, scoring his 11th of the season less than two minutes into regulation. He has points in three of his last four games and 24 in his last 25, the most on the team over that span.

Former Calgary Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane is set to make his Saddledome debut as a visitor with the Washington Capitals.

The Calgary Flames announced that their third-highest-scoring defenseman will miss some weeks with an upper-body injury.

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.

One of the teams fighting for a playoff spot has been doing some little things right in order to stay in the hunt. The Calgary Flames might’ve lost their last two games, falling to the Winnipeg Jets and Washington Capitals – the top two teams in the NHL.

The resurgent Ottawa Senators go for a third straight win when they host the Washington Capitals on Thursday night.
