The Flames have lost an unfathomable 11 straight Opening Night games, continually setting themselves up for slow starts to the season and an exhausting chase the rest of the year. They’ll hope to stop that trend in 2021-22. (EricFrancis)

So was Miikka Kiprusoff, who outdueled Roberto Luongo for the Flames’ last opening night win, sealed by a Brandon Prust winner, a Dion Phaneuf empty-netter and a 29-minute effort from Jay Bouwmeester.The club has since embarked on a dubious run of 11-straight opening night losses, shattering the previous NHL record of seven held by the Minnesota North Stars and Buffalo Sabres.

“I don’t know why,” said Gaudreau, whose club is seven opening night losses ahead of second place Arizona. All of which brings us to Rogers Place Saturday night, where the Flames will try to snap their historic string against its opening night kryptonite. The Flames haven’t played since Friday’s final exhibition game, while the Oilers got their feet wet with a season-opening win Wednesday. You can bet the hosts will be ready.
