Hendrix Lapierre ended a 90-game goal drought, Alex Ovechkin had an empty-netter and the Washington Capitals beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 on Friday night to end a four-game losing streak.

The Calgary Flames aren’t mathematically out of the playoff race yet, but let’s be honest—chasing the Stanley Cup at this point feels a little like chasing smoke.

The Anaheim Ducks are rolling as they come into Calgary looking to build on their six-game winning streak against the struggling Flames on Sunday.

Goaltender Dustin Wolf was first off the ice during the Flames' morning skate and is lined up to start in this game. Wolf has a 15-19-2 record with a 2.98 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage. His numbers are lower this year than last, but don't let that fool you. He's still a really good young goaltender.

Morgan Frost scored for the Flames (21-25-5), who have scored just one goal in each of their past three games and have lost them all (0-2-1) since defenseman Rasmus Andersson was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday. Devin Cooley made 35 saves.

Recent trade acquisition Zach Whitecloud has stepped right in to fill the void left by Rasmus Andersson. The former Vegas Golden Knight has seen a significant uptick in ice time in his three games as a Flame thus far, culminating in 25:16 of ice time on Friday night.

After months of rumors, the Calgary Flames finally traded Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights. Who could the Flames end up trading next?

Who: Pittsburgh Penguins (23-14-11, 57 points, 3rd place Metropolitan Division) @ Calgary Flames (21-23-5, 47 points, 7th place Pacific Division) When: 9:30 p.m. eastern How to Watch: Locally broadcast on Sportsnet Pittsburgh,

Connor Zary took advantage of a Bruins defensive breakdown with 1:16 left in the second period to score for the Flames, who have now lost four games in a row, and the first two games of a five-game road trip after a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Wednesday. Dustin Wolf had 26 saves.

Rasmus Andersson debuted with the Golden Knights, praised Vegas as a real contender, and helped them beat Toronto to stay atop the Pacific.

Construction crews are continuing to put together the Calgary Flames' new arena at a rapid pace and have released new exciting updates.
