Set-up Notes
Flames LW Matthew Tkachuk made an early exit from Wednesday’s practice due to an apparent wrist injury, but head coach Glen Gulutzan didn’t seem too worried, telling reporters the rookie left-winger needed a couple of stitches but “all seems pretty good” … Flames D Nicklas Grossmann cleared waivers and was assigned to the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat … Meanwhile, the Flames summoned C/RW Linden Vey from Stockton. In eight games with the Heat, the 25-year-old has collected three goals and nine points … The Flames are shooting to get back on track after a tough road-trip — they managed just one win and were outscored 16-5 during a four-game trek. The Stars, meanwhile, have only one victory and two loser points in five outings since the calendar flipped to November. Tuesday’s 8-2 walloping from the Winnipeg Jets marked the first time since March 2013 that the Stars have surrendered eight goals. “We came in here and played a terrible game, and that’s what you get,” fumed Stars captain Jamie Benn after the whupping in Winnipeg. “It’s pretty much rock bottom, I think. I don’t think you can get any worse than that.” … Stars LW Jiri Hudler will have to wait for his return to the Saddledome. The 32-year-old, who spent four winters with the Flames before being swapped to the Florida Panthers at the trade deadline last season and eventually signing with Dallas as a free agent this summer, has been limited to just four games this fall due to a virus.
Injuries
Flames: RW Kris Versteeg (groin) and LW Lance Bouma (upper body) are out.
Stars: C Jason Spezza (lower body) is nearing a return, while C Cody Eakin (knee), RW Ales Hemsky (hip), LW Jiri Hudler (illness), C Mattias Janmark (knee) and LW Patrick Sharp (concussion) remain out.
