Projected Lines
Bill Peters is sticking with the hot hand tonight and giving David Rittich the start between the pipes tonight. Rittich is coming off a stellar performance against the NY Rangers from Sunday night and has been solid when called upon this season. For what it’s worth, Rittich beat the Canadiens last season 3-2 in OT, stopping 35 of the 37 shots that came his way. Here’s the rest of the Flames projected lines for tonight’s tilt with the Montreal Canadiens, including a solid 4th line that has been stepping up as of late.
