Projected Lines
Calgary Flames vs Los Angeles Kings
It appears Jacob Markstrom will get his fifth straight start, and fourth in a week, as the Flames welcome Los Angeles to town. It’s a big divisional clash, and Coach Darryl Sutter will continue to lean on his number one netminder. Markstrom is coming off three starts in four nights including a back-to-back last Friday-Saturday.
Per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 at this morning’s optional skate from the Saddledome:
It looks like Jacob Markstrom start and like Ryan Carpenter, Brett Ritchie and Michael Stone will be odd men out for #Flames vs. #GoKingsGo tonight. pic.twitter.com/JOmsnrp2Nx

Just like in the blue paint, it looks like the rest of the lineup won’t see any changes either. For a refresher, the lines from Tuesday and a couple games prior were as follows:
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Mangiapane-Backlund-Toffoli
Dube-Jarnkrok-Coleman
Lucic-Monahan-Lewis
The rock solid defensive pairings are as follows:
Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Tanev
Zadorov-Gudbranson
The new acquisition from trade deadline day remains a healthy scratch, as Ryan Carpenter will sit after getting just one game in so far during Sean Monahan’s brief run as a healthy scratch himself. He skated late this morning alongside Brett Ritchie and Michael Stone as they worked with backup goalie Dan Vladar.
Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960:
Jacob Markstrom set to start tonight vs. Los Angeles. Dan Vladar working late with scratches at optional morning skate.

Looks like same lineup as Tuesday. Ryan Carpenter, Brett Ritchie, and Michael Stone skating late, so they’ll be healthy scratches. #Flames
