| | | CALGARY: LAST SEASON: 35-40-7, 77 points, finished 13th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Bob Hartley, fourth season with Calgary, 383-291-61-45 overall.
ADDED: LW Brandon Bollig, D Deryk Engelland, G Jonas Hiller, LW Mason Raymond.
LOST: D Chris Butler, LW Mike Cammalleri.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Johnny Gaudreau. Offense was a major issue for the Flames, who finished 23rd and 24th, respectively, in goals per game (2.46) and power play percentage (15.7). Gaudreau, the reigning Hobey Baker winner, recorded 80 points (36 goals and 44 assists) in 40 games with Boston College.
OUTLOOK: With the possible exception of John Tortorella, who attempted to fight his way into the Calgary dressing room during the first intermission of a Jan. 18 game in Vancouver to ostensibly express his displeasure about a line brawl following the opening faceoff, Hartley and the Flames earned praise around the NHL for their hardworking style of play. Even with the addition of Gaudreau and friends to the lineup, don't expect the Flames to change their modus operandi. But it's too much to ask the Flames to compete for a playoff berth. | | VANCOUVER: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, finished 12th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Willie Desjardins, first season with the Canucks.
ADDED: C Nick Bonino, LW Derek Dorsett, G Ryan Miller, D Luca Sbisa, RW Radim Vrbata.
LOST: RW Zac Dalpe, D Jason Garrison, C Ryan Kesler, C Mike Santorelli, C Jordan Schroeder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ryan Miller. On June 29, 2013, the Canucks had a goaltending tandem of Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider. When Vancouver's season ended 288 days later, the duo in net was Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom after Schneider and Luongo were traded. In a combined 45 games with Vancouver, Lack and Markstrom were 17-19-5 with a 2.39 goals against average and .908 save percentage. Miller, who was signed to a three-year, $18 million free agent deal, has a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage the last four seasons.
OUTLOOK: The dismissals of coach John Tortorella and Kesler, traded to Anaheim, can be seen as addition by subtraction. Kesler's in-season trade request became a distraction for a team whose 2013-14 campaign was an unmitigated failure. So the Canucks can do nothing but improve in 2014-15. Will there be enough improvement to qualify for a playoff berth? That may be too much to ask for a team in the tough Western Conference. |

*Flames-Canucks Preview* ========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Calgary (17-15-2) at Vancouver (18-11-2), 10:00 p.m. EDT
Facing the Vancouver Canucks may not be a boon to the Calgary Flames, who are riding their longest losing streak since setting a team record nearly three decades ago.
The Flames will try to snap their seven-game skid by beating the Canucks on the road for the first time in three years Saturday night.
Calgary (17-15-2) has been outscored 23-11 while losing seven in a row in regulation, the team's longest skid since dropping a franchise-record 11 straight from Dec. 14, 1985 to Jan. 7, 1986. The Flames extended the current slide Friday with a 2-1 loss to Dallas.
"We had such a great start to the year, we don't want to just waste it in just this one stretch here," center Joe Colborne said. "We trust our leadership, we trust our systems right now and it's just a matter of going out and doing it."
Calgary hasn't done much lately against the Canucks (18-11-2), losing eight in a row after falling 4-2 at home in the season opener Oct. 8. The Flames have also dropped seven straight visits to Vancouver.
While Calgary is trying to win at Rogers Arena for the first time since Dec. 23, 2011, the Canucks are looking to continue that dominance in an effort to end their own five-game slide - a stetch in which they've been outscored 19-7.
Vancouver's losing streak is its longest since a seven-game skid Jan. 27-Feb. 8.
"Obviously every game is important, but the way the things have went in the past, we have to make sure we're ready to compete," right wing Derek Dorsett said. "Obviously, Calgary coming in, we're right neck-and-neck with them. They're kind of in the similar situation we've been in. Both teams are going to be desperate.
"It'll be an intense game."
Vancouver needs to get its power play going after failing to score on 18 chances in the last six games, including an 0-for-4 effort in Wednesday's 2-0 home loss to the Stars.
The top line of center Henrik Sedin, left wing Daniel Sedin and right wing Radim Vrbata has been held without a point for three games while combining for a minus-12. Still, the Sedins are tied with a team-high 26 points, while Vrbata is three back.
"Other teams really key on that line," coach Willie Desjardins said. "We gotta have secondary scoring. That's what makes us good. If I gotta keep playing that line, they get tired when they're playing. Now, you gotta have scoring off the other units."
Not a single Canucks player has scored more than once in the past five games, though Henrik Sedin has 14 points in the last 10 meetings with the Flames. He set up both goals by Daniel Sedin in a 5-1 home win over Calgary on April 13.
Jiri Hudler scored for the Flames in the season opener, and he had a point in four straight games before being held without one against Dallas. The right wing's 13 goals lead the team, while his 30 points are second to Mark Giordano's 32.
Giordano leads all NHL defensemen in scoring after collecting eight points in 10 games. However, he has just two in his last 10 visits to Vancouver.
