The NHL's relaunch plan pits the prairie-province clubs against each other in a best-of-five “play-in” round which would determine the 16 playoff teams.
CALGARY -- The Calgary Flames' first opponent if and when the NHL resumes is a team they saw once this season outside.
“We'll do our due diligence on Winnipeg. We know who the opponent is now, but the most important thing we're thinking about is how we're going to prepare our team to play Winnipeg.” “I think playing them late in the season would have probably been an advantage to both teams in terms of preparation,” Ward said.
The NHL going to conference matchups instead of divisional may have negated an early Battle of Alberta in the relaunch, although the league has yet to announce how playoff teams will be seeded.
