The Calgary Flames had to make some adjustments on the fly ahead of Sunday’s clash against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

With Deryk Engelland’s sudden departure to be with his wife Melissa who had the couple’s second baby, a little girl named Talon, it left the squad with five defencemen as Dennis Wideman (triceps) is done for the season.

The Flames were tossing around the idea of using 13 forwards with Freddie Hamilton being the extra body.
