Gamethread: Calgary Flames Host Carolina Hurricanes
Wideman is out, Raymond is sent down to the AHL, Nakladal was called up, Ferland could return – it looks like another one of those games where the lineups will be a last minute decision.
The Calgary Flames are at home tonight to host the Carolina Hurricanes.
Dennis Wideman has been suspended for 20 games due to his hit on linesman Don Henderson (to which the NHLPA has filed an appeal).
Jakub Nakladal has been recalled from the AHL, but probably will not play in tonight’s game.
Mason Raymond cleared waivers and was sent down to the Stockton Heat.
It's been said that Michael Ferland could possibly play in tonight's game, but the only confirmation we have is that of Derek Wills on twitter.
