Coming off of giving up at least four goals in two straight games – the first one a loss, the second one a win – the Flames, before heading out on the road, appear to be experimenting with both their forward and defensive groups.
At forward, via Pat Steinberg, it looks like Mark Jankowski will be coming out for Garnet Hathaway, and Dillon Dube is going to get a turn at centre:
| Gaudreau | Monahan | Lindholm |
| Tkachuk | Backlund | Czarnik |
| Bennett | Dube | Neal |
| Hathaway | Ryan | Frolik |
Considering the newfound depth at forward the Flames have, it’s been a legitimate question to wonder who they could possibly sit in order to get Hathaway or even Anthony Peluso into the lineup.
