Darryl Sutter Made a Decision That Will Determine the Fate of the Flames
The Calgary Flames' 2022-23 season fate is likely to be determined within the next 36 hours.
Currently, the Flames are trailing the Winnipeg Jets by two points for the final Wild Card playoff spot in the Western Conference. With back-to-back games scheduled against the Chicago Blackhawks and the Jets today and tomorrow, it's safe to say that tomorrow night's clash with the Jets is the season-defining game for both teams. However, the Flames cannot afford to underestimate the Blackhawks tonight.
So, what's Head Coach Darryl Sutter's plan for his goalies in this crucial back-to-back situation? He's relying on his top netminder.
Sutter revealed today that goaltender Jacob Markstrom will play in both back-to-back games, even though the team's season hangs in the balance.
