Pittsburgh Penguins at Calgary Flames [Game 69]

The Calgary Flames are looking for a ten game winning streak, but tonight’s competition should be pretty fierce. They’re up against the defending Stanley Cup Champions in the Pittsburgh Penguins. It should be a tough one, but this Flames team has made some teams look sillier than they should have in theory during this crazy streak.

There’s no line up changes for tonight’s game. Michael Stone is still out with injury which means Dennis Wideman is back out on the third pair once again. Rasmus Andersson was an emergency recall and some thought he might play, but that hasn’t been the case thus far. The other scratches include Freddie Hamilton and Curtis Lazar who has yet to play a game with the Flames.

Brian Elliott is in net again. Chad Johnson will serve as his steady backup. The Penguins will counter with a guy some thought that the Flames might acquire – veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. The puck drops at 7:05 P.M. Here we go!
