The Calgary Flames hit the practice ice for their last prep before their Saturday afternoon tilt with the St. Louis Blues. The skate also led to a bit of lineup news for the club.
Mike Smith starts tomorrow. #Flames

Mike Smith hasn’t played since leaving the Flames’ 6-5 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers back on Dec. 12. Since then David Rittich has started four games in a row, going 2-1-1 in that span. Given the gap between games during the holiday break, it makes a lot of sense to get Smith back into action against the Blues.
