As members of the Pacific Division, the Calgary Flames are the third NHL franchise based in the city of Calgary. Originally, they were the Atlanta Flames when they were founded in 1972, but they relocated to 1980 and they currently play their home games at the Scotiabank Saddledome. With one Stanley Cup Finals victory in 1989, the Flames look to get red hot en route to their second title during the upcoming season.
