The Flames are icing arguably their best team in recent memory and after an impressive regular season, will be looking to give the Red Mile plenty to cheer about.After three-straight seasons without making the playoffs, Colorado has now reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs twice in a row. It’s the first time since 2006 that the Avs have reached the post-season in consecutive years.
The Flames last advanced past the first round in 2015 while Colorado’s slump of advancing to the second round dates back to 2008.When the Avalanche’s captain was hurt on March 7 against Dallas and due to be out of the lineup for four-to-six weeks, it put Colorado’s playoff hopes in jeopardy.

In his five games back, Landeskog has put up six points, helped Colorado to a 3-1-1 record and a post-season berth. He also set a career-high with 34 goals this year.Calgary Flames X-Factor:Calgary last saw the post-season in 2016-17 when then-goaltender Brian Elliott got lit up by the Ducks and the Flames were swept in four games.
