Tonight the Montreal Canadiens travel to Calgary to face Jarome Iginla and the Flames.
After somehow scraping out victories after getting outshot 35-17 against the Buffalo Sabres and 46-27 against the Toronto Maple Leafs the Canadiens will face a Flames team with a similar porous defense as the Flames have been outshot 76-44 in their two games.
Both teams are coming off victories that resulted from fluky goals with less than a minute left to play.
The teams faced off twice last season, splitting the games. Calgary won the most recent meeting, a 6-2 defeat for the Canadiens in February.
Calgary is probably the most complete team Montreal has faced so far with eight of their nine goals coming from different players.
Calgary goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff has been outstanding in both games and has a lifetime 4-0 record against the Canadiens with a 1.97 GAA.
Biggest worry for Montreal this game? Well, let's just say the NHL's resident all midget team should probably keep their heads up heading into Calgary's zone:
