If Torts didn't want Lain to be out there for but thought a brawl was going to happen then why not put Kassian out in his place?
The Flames had only two real tough guys out there and Weise-Westgarth and Sestitio-McGrattan should have been able to handle them.
Richardson, Kassian, even Booth should have been fine to fight B. Jones if that was the concern.
No need for Lain to be out there if Torts is really "sad" that he had to miss the game becuase of the brawl.
