The Enemy: The Cannon

Complete Coverage >


The Flames hope to build on the positive results of their win against Detroit on Tuesday night when they visit the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena in Columbus tonight, albeit without Miikka Kiprusoff. It looks like Leland Irving might be in net tonight, which is somewhat surprising after the Flames signed Danny Taylor yesterday, but is the back-up after all; he played well in his one period of action against the Wings and there’s nothing wrong with giving him another chance against what should be an inferior opponent (although the Flames have struggled against those this season). The Jackets have three wins and seven points in 10 games so far this season.

Here are your projected lines and pairings:
