Flames and Devils Clash in Prudential Center Showdown

As the Calgary Flames prepare to face off against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Flames have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games, with a notable victory against the Florida Panthers at home but falling short during their visit to Los Angeles against the Kings.

In their triumph over the Panthers, Calgary showcased a solid defensive game, allowing only one goal and saving 33 out of 34 shots. Their penalty kill was particularly effective, notching two shorthanded goals and maintaining a perfect penalty kill percentage. However, they struggled on power plays despite having five opportunities.

The subsequent game against the Kings highlighted some areas for improvement as they conceded four goals while scoring three themselves. Despite putting up 32 shots on goal and blocking an impressive 26 shots from Los Angeles, they were unable to capitalize on six powerplay chances which could have turned the tide in their favor.

Calgary's performance has been characterized by strong goaltending and an aggressive shot-blocking strategy that has kept them competitive even when other aspects of play haven't gone as planned. Their faceoff win percentage has hovered around fifty percent across these games – an area where there is room for improvement but not necessarily concern.

Looking ahead to their matchup with New Jersey Devils, it will be crucial for Calgary to tighten up on special teams both offensively and defensively if they want to secure a win away from home. Fans should expect an intense battle as both teams vie for dominance on ice.

The upcoming game is scheduled for February 9th at Prudential Center in Newark. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or MSGSN channel 635 starting at midnight UTC time (7 PM Eastern Time).
