Adirondack Flames (12-6-1-0) vs Utica Comets (Vancouver Canucks) (13-4-2-0)


I don't have all the facts on what's going on in this picture, so I will just assume that the Comets player dove

Game Notes:

• The Flames have won 9 straight games and 11 of their last 12. Their only loss in that streak came against the Comets on 11/01.
• This is the 3rd of 12 meetings between the Flames and Comets. Comets lead the season series 2-0 outscoring the Flames 8-4.
• Adirondack has not given up a PPG since 11/10. They have killed off 27 penalties in that time.

Roster Notes:

• Josh Jooris (F), Markus Granlund (F), Sven Baertschi (F), Michael Ferland (F) and Corban Knight (F) are up with the Calgary Flames
• Devin Setoguchi (F) has been assigned to Adirondack but has not yet reported. He is unlikely to play tonight.
• Joni Ortio (G) will start
• Sena Acolaste (D), Patrick Sieloff (D) and Dustin Stevenson (D) are healthy scratches for tonight
• Kenny Agostino (F) was not at the morning skate. He took a puck to the face during the Marlies game and left the game so he may be dealing with a facial injury.
