The flu seems to finally be leaving the Flames. It's their second 6 p.m. MT game in two days, and the Hawks will be a tough test for the feisty but rebuilding club.

Bouma is now day-to-day with a facial injury (no concussion) after the hit he sustained from Paul Gaustad last game. McGrattan, by default, draws in for him. (#FreeMattStajan.) Engelland sustained a lower body injury, so Wideman gets bumped up to be Russell's partner, while Diaz draws in on the bottom pairing.

The game is broadcast on Sportsnet as part of Wednesday night hockey. There are only three games on tonight, so slim pickings – feel free to join us here!
