Projected Lines

Calgary Flames versus San Jose Sharks

SAP Center

San Jose, California

The Flames are in California for two straight games against the Sharks, looking to break out of a five game losing slump.

Checking in to morning skate, it looks like Jacob Markstrom will get his fourth straight shot in the blue paint. He enters tonight without a win in his last five starts, and carries an 8-8-4 record with an .892 Save Percentage and 2.92 Goals Against Average.

One piece of roster news to pass along from today, per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun:

Chris Tanev did skate today for the first time since suffering a head injury against the Habs on December 12th. Connor Mackey has skated in his stead and the Gilbert recall is likely just insurance.

Milan Lucic will likely see his second straight game of action after three straight healthy scratches. The fourth line looks to return to its familiar Lucic-Lewis-Ritchie formation for tonight.
