Projected Lines: Calgary Flames vs Carolina Hurricanes

Glen Gulutzan isn’t playing around: don’t perform, don’t play. Plain and simple. Dennis Wideman and Nicklas Grossmann again are healthy scratches for the Flames and Brian Elliott returns to the pipes after having two games off. In a curious decision, Alex Chiasson is getting bumped up to the Monahan/Gaudreau line and Matthew Tkachuck is skating with Matt Stajan and Kris Versteeg on the 4th line. Here’s the projected lines for the Flames and ‘Canes for tonight’s game:
