How will the Red Wings stack up against Calgary?
Calgary will look like a different team this season. With captain Mark Giordano leaving for Seattle, the Flames will have to incorporate a new identity. Calgary will be on the bubble to make the playoffs once again this year. The series with Detroit should be even and you can expect a split between the two games this year.
