Calgary Flames
Game #35: Flames at Red Wings Game Thread
Three games into their five-game Eastern Conference road trip and with just one win to show for it, the Flames take on the struggling Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena tonight.
The Red Wings have lost six games in a row and are missing starting goalie Jimmy Howard as well as six of their top nine forwards and defenceman Danny DeKeyser. That is ridiculous.
The Flames have lost two straight versus the Rangers and Bruins, but are perhaps the healthiest they’ve been all season with the exception of Dennis Wideman’s broken hand.
So something interesting is probably going to happen tonight.
Projected Lines and Pairings:
Detroit:
Jurco-Datsyuk-Alfredsson
Miller-Andersson-Tatar
Cleary-Glendenning-Eaves
Bertuzzi-Sheahan-Tootoo
Kronwall-Ericsson
Quincey-Smith
Lashoff-Kindl
Gustavsson
Man, the Wings sure could use Jiri Hudler tonight.
Flames:
Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak
Cammalleri-Backlund-D. Jones
Byron-Monahan-Hudler
Bouma-Colborne-McGrattan
Russell-Brodie
Giordano-Smid
Butler-O'Brien
Ramo
T.J. Galiardi, Blair Jones and Chris Breen are healthy scratches for the Flames. Mikael Samuelsson is a healthy scratch for the Wings, somehow.
Go Flames!
