The Flames road trip continues in the Motor City tonight, and there’ll be a swap in the blue paint.
Jacob Markstrom will get a night off and Dan Vladar will come in. Vladar has won five straight starts and continues to push for a starter’s gig. He comes into tonight with a record of 11-4-4 alongside a .904 Save Percentage and 2.77 Goals Against Average. It’s a juicy matchup against a Detroit squad that ranks 24th in goals for in the NHL, averaging just under three a game at 2.98
Due to Rasmus Andersson’s injury in a traffic incident, the Flames have recalled D-Man Dennis Gilbert from the Wranglers. He has seen nine games of NHL action this year, with one assist, 20 PIMs, 10 hits and 9 blocks so far.
