Tonight at 10 p.m. ET, the lights come up on the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary as the Flames host the Vancouver Canucks in Game 4 of their Round 1 best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff series.
Vancouver looks to steal a road game to draw the set even at 2-2 while Calgary is hopeful to shore up home ice and put a stranglehold on the series by jumping out to a 3-1 lead.
These teams have alternated wins and losses so far as the Flames notched a 2-1 victory in Game 1 Wednesday and the Canucks drew even with a 4-1 triumph on Friday.
Calgary then took its second lead of the series over Vancouver with a 4-2 victory on Sunday when the series shifted over to the Saddledome.

The Flames were lifted by four different goal-scorers in Game 3, a contest that marked the franchise's first home playoff game since 2009.
Brandon Bollig and T.J. Brodie each found the back of the net in the first period while Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan (power play) each lit the lamp in the third frame.
Rookie sensation Johnny Gaudreau picked up his second assist in his first-career home playoff game during the win.
Shawn Matthias and Jannik Hansen each tallied for the Canucks in the loss, but Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin were held off the score sheet and still have just one point apiece in the series.
Calgary knows it's only halfway to its ultimate goal of winning the series and it will look to once again feed off the energy of the home crowd.
"Some of us are bouncing around [on the bench] all the time anyways, but pretty much the entire team was feeling the energy and we were ready to go right from puck drop," Flames forward Joe Colborne said via NHL.com. "It's going to be all about our start. They're going to come out, they know how important game this is, and so do we. It's going to be another hard fought, physical game and we're expecting a lot of the same."
Vancouver knows that a series can change momentum in a flash and if it picks up a Game 4 win, it snatches home-ice advantage right back.
"It's going to be a series of ups and downs," Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa told NHL.com. "We're a team that, for the most part, that's gone through it before several times. I think we're able to handle these situations and we know we have to respond with a good effort and we know how momentum can switch really quickly."
Alexandre Burrows was not suspended for an instigator penalty in Game 3, however he will miss this game after leaving practice Tuesday in an ambulance with what the team dubbed an upper-body injury.
In the crease, Vancouver turns to Eddie Lack and he has allowed seven goals on 81 shots thus far this series.
Calgary counters with Jonas Hiller between the pipes and he has yielded six tallies while stifling 78 attempts.
The Canucks look to even up the series while the Flames hope for a commanding lead when these teams take the ice for Game 4 of their first-round clash live from the Scotiabank Saddledome as part of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
