Calgary Flames @ Boston Bruins

TD Garden

Boston, Massachusetts

The Flames โ€˜everything will go better on the roadโ€ stint has its final stop tonight as they visit the Bruins before heading home to host the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.

Morning skate at TD Garden only showed us one major change, and itโ€™ll be in the starterโ€™s net.

Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960:

Vladar will take over for Jacob Markstrom who previously started four straight contests. Noted by Coach Sutter to see a few more starts this year, Heโ€™ll get his fourth appearance of the season tonight, having two losses and a win on his record to date. He has posted sub-.900 Save Percentages in each of his games and has an overall .865 SV % on the season to date.

Forward lines and pairings will remain the same, and forward Jonathan Huberdeau remains day-to-day with an upper body injury although he did get a few laps in this morning.

Per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun:

Keeping their defense pairings and forward lines from Tuesdayโ€™s improved effort against the Devils. The switcheroos from the top six look to remain intact.

If morning skate holds, everything should shake down as follows:

FORWARD 1: Ruzicka-Lindholm-Toffoli

FORWARD 2: Dube-Kadri-Mangiapane

FORWARD 3: Coleman-Backlund-Lewis

FORWARD 4: Lucic-Rooney-Ritchie

DEFENSE 1: Hanifin-Andersson

DEFENSE 2: Zadorov-Weegar

DEFENSE 3: DeSimone-Gilbert

GOALTENDERS:
