Ramo could be close. Practicing before the main group and appears to be good 2 go. Ortio is missing and if Ramo is good 2 go, then his emergency recall ends and has to be sent down to Adirondack

#Flames Ramo on the ice with goalie coach @JMSigalet which should be a sign he is getting closer. @Sportsnet960
Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Ortio was here on emergency recall, so him not being on the ice would lead you to believe Ramo is good to go. #Flames
Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Ramo is a full participant at practice as well. Looks just fine. #Flames

Byron skating with #Flames this am.
Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Good to see Paul Byron back on the practice ice for the #Flames this morning. Wearing a baby blue no contact jersey.
Jermain Franklin @TSNJFranklin
#Flames Byron traded in the non contact powder blue for a red jersey... What are we talking about!?!? #practice! #playoffs

Sam Bennett Watch:

Meanwhile, #Flames C/LW Sam Bennett once again working with second PP unit. Sure seems like 18-year-old will be in lineup in Game 1.
Roger Millions @RogMillions
Sam Bennett front and centre on every drill. Starting to believe he is in for Game 1. We will wait and see.

update:
Sean Monahan leaves practice early:

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
C Sean Monahan just left the ice here before the #Flames tucked into PP/PK drills. Granlund filling in for him ATM.
Roger Millions @RogMillions
Sean Monahan leaves ice. Not good for #Flames if that guy can't go.

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Caution not to read too much into lines today. Monahan leaving throws everything off. Hartley said yesterday he'd play in game 1. #Flames
