Two teams face off in the second game of a back-to-back series, their third game in four nights. Fatigue could be a factor, further compounded by the altitude in the Mile-High City. The Calgary Flames have struggled away from home this season, owning a 4-6-2 record in their twelve road games. They will need to contain the Avalanche's offence, which has scored 27 goals in their last five games.
