Projected Lines

Calgary Flames versus Detroit Red Wings

Scotiabank Saddledome

Calgary, Alberta

The Flames will kick-off a three game homestand tonight as they host the Detroit Red Wings, who are on the second half of a back-to-back after grabbing a SO win last night up the highway against the Oilers.

We start projected lines in the blue paint, where we’ll see a change from Monday.

Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960:

Jacob Markstrom will ride the pine tonight after a tough outing late-game collapse in an OTL to the Sens on Monday. Vladar carries an overall 11-5-4 record alongside a 2.73 Goals Against Average and a Save Percentage of .903

The Wings ended a personal five-game win streak for Vladar when these teams met exactly a week ago on last Thursday, so he’ll look to redeem himself.

Rasmus Andersson was day-to-day after his traffic accident suffered in Detroit last week. Injuries sustained caused him to miss three straight games, and Dennis Gilbert has subbed in for him since the injury. Gilbert participated with Connor Mackey as an extra this morning, and Andersson did participate at optional morning skate today and has been cleared for action, so it’ll just be a matter of staff deciding if he goes tonight.
