The Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers are hoping to turn their season around as they face off in the Heritage Classic. Both teams are desperate for a win and see this game as an opportunity to reset and get back on track.

The Flames arrived in Edmonton with a 2-5-1 record. Their hosts have been even worse, with just one victory — and one loser point — to show for seven games so far. Both have suffered four straight losses. “Obviously, both teams are probably saying the same thing at this point. Somebody has gotta come out with the win, and somebody can really use that win to springboard their season the right way.”“You have two desperate teams going at it, two teams that are dying for a win,” Weegar said, previewing Sunday’s outdoor showdown between the Flames and Oilers. “It’s going to be a Battle of Alberta tomorrow, for sure. It sets up great.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for game-night, which included this hilarious line: “The weather won’t be nearly as cold as it was during the 2003 Heritage Classic, but temperatures will be below average for this time of year. Harvey the Hound won’t want to lick any metal poles.”
