Dust off the jersey and polish-up that foam finger; Flames hockey is back!

The team opens their pre-season Tuesday night at the Saddledome as they host the Stanley Cup finalist Vancouver Canucks, and also send a squad on the road to Vancouver.

Flames Head Coach Brent Sutter says he’ll head to the coast with younger players, while a more veteran-laden team will take to the ice in Calgary.

Puck drop at the Saddledome is 7:00 p.m., while the second squad in Vancouver gets underway at 8:00 p.m.
