It’s been a very up and down season for the Flames, but one thing has been consistently good for them so far: health. Aside from Johnny Gaudreau’s broken finger, the Flames have mostly sidestepped serious injury this year. The only other players to miss significant time to date are Lance Bouma (shoulder), Troy Brouwer (finger), Kris Versteeg (various) and Ladislav SMID (LTIR). Versteeg arguable, but the rest of the guys on that list are “support players” (at best).
Aside from playing for home ice down the stretch, Calgary’s other objective should be to stay as healthy as possible heading into the postseason (and please, no mumps).
