Projected Lines
Calgary Flames versus Seattle Kraken
Climate Pledge Arena
Seattle, Washington
The Flames dropped a big divisional contest against the rival Oilers last night, and will finish out the second half of a back-to-back on the road in Seattle tonight against another Pacific Division foe.
With the back-to-back in mind, we would expect Dan Vladar to take the reigns in the blue paint tonight.
Jacob Markstrom had a personal three-game winning streak snapped last night, and he’ll get a night off to regroup here. Vladar’s last start was prior to the holiday break, where the Flames dropped a 4-3 OT decision to the Los Angeles Kings. He comes into tonight with five wins on the season and packing a .903 Save Percentage.
Speaking of the road trip before the break, December 18th against San Jose was the last time Dennis Gilbert suited up for the squad. He was retroactively placed on Injured Reserve on the 20th due to damage suffered in a fight in that second Sharks game, but has been recalled as of today and is back on the 23 man roster.
Due to the quick turnaround from last night, we wouldn’t expect any other major changes to the formations this evening.
