The Edmonton Oilers crush the Calgary Flames in first of two Battle of Alberta games on Tuesday, exposing a widening gap in young talent and offensive firepower. Can Dustin Wolf’s heroics in net rescue the Flames from a long-term rebuild, or is a shakeup in Calgary unavoidable?

We spotlight Connor McDavid’s dominant point streak and Leon Draisaitl’s hat trick, dissecting why talent continues to trump effort. Calgary Flames head coach Ryan Huska, defenseman Kevin Bahl and forward Jonathan Huberdeau address Calgary’s lack of answers and missed opportunities. What are the future prospects of Dustin Wolf as a franchise cornerstone? Plus, we examine the Flames most recent stab at assembling young talent like Sean Monahan, Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett that led to the 2018-19 season and how that can inform what Calgary does now entering an end-of-year homestand.

The Calgary Flames eye another statement win over the Edmonton Oilers as wounded Oilers struggle with goalie uncertainty. Can Michael Backlund’s red-hot line and a top-ranked penalty kill tilt the Battle of Alberta in Calgary’s favor?

We break down how injuries to Edmonton’s goaltending—highlighted by Connor Ingram’s recent call-up—and the relentless firepower of Connor McDavid set the stage for this crucial divisional showdown. The show explores Calgary’s surging December form, recent solid performances from Backlund, Blake Coleman, and Connor Zary, plus the Flames’ dominance in shorthanded goals. What strategies does Calgary use to contain McDavid’s scoring spree, and the historic context of Calgary seeking consecutive victories in Edmonton.

Will the Flames capitalize on Oilers’ health adversity and solidify their playoff ambitions before the holiday break?

While there are still many questions as to whether or not they'll actually make the NHL Western Conference postseason, the Calgary Flames showed they're a playoff-caliber team after toppling the Vegas Golden Knights. Powered by Michael Backland’s multi-goal game, a key score from Ryan Lomberg and standout goaltending from Devin Cooley, the Flames handed Vegas only its third regulation road defeat this season.

Can shorthanded scoring from Blake Coleman and Joel Farabee combine with consistent production from young stars like Connor Zary and Matt Coronato pair and solid veteran output from Rasmus Andersson and MacKenzie Weegar to unlock a new level for Calgary as they prepare for consecutive Battle of Alberta games against the Edmonton Oilers? Plus, the debut of our Monday segment about the San Jose Sharks, Seattle Kraken and Golden Knights' opponent jersey rankings.
