The Calgary Flames kick off the NHL's regular season Wednesday night as they host the Vancouver Canucks.

The Canucks will likely be looking for a little payback after the Flames ousted them in the first round of the playoffs last season.

The puck drops at 8 at the Dome.

In the Majors, the Houston Astros will be moving on in the baseball playoffs thanks to their 3-0 win over the New York Yankees in the winner take all one game Wild Card game Tuesday night in the Bronx.

The Astros now travel to Kansas City to face the Royals in one of the American League division series.

The other one has the Toronto Blue Jays hosting the Texas Rangers with games one and two in the best of five series going Thursday and Friday afternoon's at Skydome.

Wednesday night is the National League Wild Card game with the Chicago Cubs in Pittsburgh to face the Pirates.
