Final
Flames hope to rebound from letdown performance
Jan 18, 2009 - 8:06 AM Calgary (27-13-4) at Colorado (22-22-1), 8:00 pm ESTDENVER (Ticker) -- The Calgary Flames will look to bounce back from a letdown performance when they visit the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.
After ending the San Jose Sharks' 11-month home point streak Thursday, the Flames suffered a 4-3 setback to the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday. Mike Cammalleri scored two goals for Calgary, which had a four-game winning streak snapped.
Despite the loss, the Flames are still one of the hottest teams in the NHL - winning nine of their last 11 contests.
Milan Hejduk and Ryan Smyth will both be seeking their 300th career goals. Both players were held scoreless Friday during Colorado's loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.
The 32-year-old Hejduk has spent his entire career with the Avalanche, collecting 630 points over 10 seasons.
Smyth leads the team with 15 goals and 33 points this season, while Hejduk ranks second in those categories with 14 and 32.
