What happened: Ryan Huska weighed in on Calgary's scheduled game against Seattle ahead of tonight's preseason matchup.

Why it matters: Calgary is 3-10 this season and has dropped three straight, so any public read from the coach lands in a stretch where the club is trying to steady itself. Huska said earlier this week the Flames need to build to another level early, tying this matchup to that broader push.

What to watch: Watch whether Calgary can interrupt its three-game skid when it meets Seattle tonight and how Huska's assessment lines up with the team's response.
