Many expected or even hoped the Calgary Flames would tank this season but the team still has playoff aspirations and mentality

A playoff rematch between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames doesn't seem nearly as unlikely as it did just a few months ago.

The Calgary Flames have been without blueliner Kevin Bahl for the past few games. By the sounds of it, they’ll be without him for a little while longer at least.

Saturday night in Minnesota, the Calgary Flames top-four defenceman, Kevin Bahl, left the game due to injury and did not return. During the second period, Bahl took a big hit behind his net from Wild forward Jakub Lauko.

The Calgary Flames have designated defenseman Kevin Bahl as out week-to-week with an upper-body injury per TSN’s Salim Nadim Valji.

Credit to Pierre-Luc Dubois, who continues to be red-hot for Washington, scoring his 11th of the season less than two minutes into regulation. He has points in three of his last four games and 24 in his last 25, the most on the team over that span.

Led by Mason McTavish, they’ve netted 16 goals while winning three in a row, their most tallies in a three-game stretch in nearly 30 years
