Calgary Flames vs Montreal Canadiens
Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary Alberta
Blasty Week kicked off with a big win against the Panthers and the Flames will look to keep it rolling. It looks like they’ll stick with what worked from the Florida game, with the only exception being in the crease.
Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960:
Markstrom returns after getting some time off as Dan Vladar started the last two games back-to-back. We’ll see if a little recharge will help him with the issues he has been facing this year. Before yielding to Vladar, Markstrom had given up five goals in two games on fifty shots faced. He’ll enter tonight’s game with a record of 8-5-2 and a 3.03 Goals Against Average alongside a save percentage of .889
He lost both games against Montreal last year, giving up eight goals over the two contests.
