Tuesday night was a strange game. The defence was awful, Ramo let a couple of soft ones in, but the Flames still nearly won. Weird.
Anyway, the Flames head north-west for a meeting with rumoured trade target Steven Stamkos, and his Tampa Bay Lightning. You know what accompanies lightning, right?
Apparently the Lightning are struggling this year, mostly based on the fact they lost to a Jack Eichel-inspired Buffalo the other night. I wish the Flames were having their season.

ICYMI
Calgary Flames 3-4 Florida Panthers
Weird, really. The D was never really in it, but the Flames were never out of it. Two struggling teams in a game full of mistakes.
Projected lines
- Karri Ramo starts again, because for the most part he’s performing pretty well – he just needs to stop the soft ones.
- Ladislav Smid, of all people, draws into the lineup. Deryk Engelland sits as a healthy scratch. Count that as Engelland and Bollig as healthy scratches, and pinch yourself accordingly. Why Smid, who knows, but hey ho.
- Today’s practice was optional, so I’d expect the lines to mostly stay the same. This is Bob Hartley though, so your guess is as good as mine.

Should Brandon Bollig draw in, this will be his 200th game. David Jones' two against Florida puts him with Michael Frolik in needing two for 100. Jason Garrison is three assists away from 100.
