Get the lowdown on the opposition at Stanley Cup of Chowder

Tuesday night's leveller seemed to complete the turnaround of Dougie Hamilton. After a promising start, he (along with most of the other Flames) struggled, and struggled hard. Time with Deryk Engelland seemed to settle him, then some time on the powerplay has helped him find his game again. He's finally becoming the prince we all hoped he would be.

Why the praise and spotlight for Hamilton? His ex-team are in town. The Boston Bruins decided they didn't want to afford him in the summer, and their loss in Calgary's gain.

Game recap

That's where the Flames have been hiding! That was nice.

Projected lines

Karri Ramo starts again, seemingly settled into the number one role despite a dodgy early start against the Stars. It sounds like the rest of the lineup is going to be a game time decision, so… here's a guess.

The Bruins are missing Chris Kelly and David Pastrnak.

Milestones

Matt Stajan plays his 800th NHL game tonight. Big milestone for a man who deserves nothing but the best.

Join us in the gamethread, where there might be some game discussion. We also implore you to follow M&G on Twitter @MatchsticksCGY. I will be covering the game in the most British manner possible, along with Paul Wheeler from Stanley Cup of Chowder in a similar matter. There will probably be much baiting.
