David Schlemko. Lee Stempniak. Mike Cammalleri. All three men made impacts in Calgary, for various reasons. They return tonight, in the uniforms of their new lovers.
Well I wasn't going to use anybody else, was I?
This year's Devils are a different proposition to last year's. They actually seem like a functional hockey team. I miss that.

Karri Ramo's save percentage continues to rise. He's having good games. Now for some defensive help.
ICYMI
Calgary Flames 1-4 Chicago Blackhawks
Yeah, lets not.
Projected lines
- Jonas Hiller is back practising, but the game comes too soon for him. Ramo gets his ninth straight start.
- Derek Grant has returned to Stockton, and Josh Jooris takes his place in the side. Poor Derek, being sent back down to the AHL because Brandon Bollig exists.
