Colorado Avalanche vs. Calgary Flames preview

The Colorado Avalanche host the Calgary Flames tomorrow night at Ball Arena in what could be a make-or-break game for the Flames' playoff hopes.

Calgary's offense has been downright anemic lately, scoring just four goals in their last two outings, while the Avs have been firing on all cylinders with 20 goals in their last five games.

Keep your eyes on Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas, who've combined for a ridiculous 40 goals and 94 assists to lead Colorado's high-powered attack.

Flames' netminder Dustin Wolf (2.67 GAA) will have his work cut out stopping Cale Makar, who's been a beast on both ends with 27 goals and 57 assists from the blue line.

The defensive battle might actually be where this game hinges - both teams allow fewer than three goals per game with Calgary at 2.94 and Colorado slightly better at 2.78.

Colorado's been practically impenetrable lately, conceding just four goals in their last three games behind MacKenzie Blackwood's stellar .919 save percentage.

For Calgary to pull off the upset, they'll need Jonathan Huberdeau and former Avalanche center Nazem Kadri to overcome Colorado's smothering defense.

The home crowd at Ball Arena should give the already-favored Avalanche an extra edge as they look to strengthen their position in the Central Division playoff race.
