The Carolina Hurricanes (15-7-2) host the Calgary Flames (9-14-3) in a lopsided inter-conference clash at Lenovo Center, where the Canes’ high-octane forecheck meets a Flames team clinging to wildcard hopes amid a mini-resurgence. With Carolina’s depth scoring (3.8 GF/G) testing Calgary’s leaky blue line, this Sunday evening matchup could showcase the Hurricanes’ power-play prowess against a Flames PK ranked 28th (76.4%). Calgary rides momentum from four wins in five, but faces a stiff test on the second leg of a road trip. Expect a fast start from the hosts, with special teams tipping the scales. Faceoff is set for Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET, broadcast on Sportsnet One (Flames), Bally Sports South (Hurricanes), and NHL Network, with streaming on Sportsnet+ and Fubo.
