| The projected lines are from Monday’s practice – Morrison and Letourneau-Leblond’s status may change after Tuesday’s pre-game skate, so Tom Kostopoulos and Roman Horak may play. |
| HD’s Gameday gut feeling |
|---|
| The Flames dominated the head-to-head series last season, winning five of six. Two of those victories came by shootout. Playing in the Dome against a team on the 2nd night of back-toback games is what the Flames need to get back into the win column. 5-2 Flames – Iggy (x2), Tanguay, Stempniak & Sarich |
| Flames take game 1 of the BoA. |
