Bollig - Bouma - Byron
McGrattan

Pine: Jones and Setoguchi

Both players people are upset about being on the team are on pine. IF Gaudreau and Baertschi force their way onto the team, the Flames win. If they don't, and show they could benefit from some time developing the Flames still have a full roster... and they win. So, win/win.
The locker room will always be happy with veterans on the pine.

They moved O'Brien out of the locker room ... without any real replacement when he didn't fit

If Knight or Rienhart or Grandlund force their way on the team does Stajan get the pine as well.

He is a poor excuse for a 3rd line checking centre.
