In a somewhat surprising move Bill Peters has decided to go with Mike Smith in net as the Flames visit the Washington Capitals Friday night in their first game back from the 9 game break. One reason could be that Bill Peters is saving David Rittich for the Carolina game on Sunday afternoon.

Here's the rest of the Flames lineup for Friday night:

FORWARDS

Johnny Gaudreau - Sean Monahan - Elias Lindholm

Sam Bennett - Mark Jankowski - James Neal
