Well, Lomberg isn't going to be some kind of an enforcer here. He is scrappy, but he is also a fairly smart player who brings speed and some jam.
With that being said, I am not sure it is the greatest of ideas to turn this game into a chippy one. I would rather Ferland not have to end up fighting Lucic, Maroon, Kassian and Nurse. If the Flames want to have that type of game, they should just call up Prout and Gazdic to even-out the size.
I do, however, think that the 4th line can definitely play with a bit more physicality and provide that kind of energy. I just don't want it to turn into a scrap-filled night when you are comparing rosters. Flames are the much faster team. Lomberg adds to that IMO, and the Flames would do better if they just all skate hard as a group tonight.
