As fans across the country celebrate Hockey Day in Canada supporters of the Flames and Oilers are just praying for a win.

Combined, the two Alberta clubs have lost 21 games straight.

However, at least one team will be celebrating the end of their loosing streak Saturday, after Calgary and Edmonton battle it out at the Pengrowth Saddledome.

D’arcy McGrath with Calgarypuck.com says it’s a mixed bag when it comes to how fans are dealing with the slump.

“There’s people that are ready to jump off a cliff, and there’s people that are thinking they’re going to turn it around.”

Game time is 8 p.m. MST.
