Calgary Flames versus Minnesota Wild

Scotiabank Saddledome

Calgary, Alberta

The Flames will meet with the Minnesota Wild tonight, and our lineup projections will start in the blue paint where it looks like the team will stick with the hot hand.

Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 from optional morning skate:

This will be Vladar’s sixth start in the team’s last eight games, as he has been increasingly called upon to fill in for a struggling Jacob Markstrom. This will be his first stint with three consecutive starts this season. Vladar is 4-4-1 on the season and comes into tonight sporting a .914 Save Percentage
