Default Tonight! Live from the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames take on The Golden Knights.

Puck Drop is at 7PM. (7 p.m. MT (TV: Sportsnet West, Radio: Sportsnet 960 The FAN).

Hockey's back!

After another 4 day break the Flames are coming off 4 disappointing OT/SO Losses, hopefully the All-Star break allowed them to get some time in to focus on their game. Looking forward to seeing how they respond to the Golden Knights. Tough team to play against.

Michael Frolik will return to the Flames lineup for Tuesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights

"He'll be a game player tomorrow," head coach Glen Gulutzan told reporters following his team's practice on Monday afternoon. "We've passed most of the checkmarks that the docs needed us to go through as far as the healing of the jaw and stuff so you can expect Fro in tomorrow."

Frolik has missed the last 12 games with a broken jaw after being struck by a shot from Sharks defenceman Brent Burns in a 3-2 shootout loss to San Jose back on Dec. 28.

"I'm definitely excited, it's never fun for a player to be injured," said Frolik. "It's obviously never easy to [spend] a month away from the game but I think I had a few good practices. [I'll] just try to keep it simple at the start, I think, keep it short shifts; keep it short and keep it simple and go out there and try to bring a little bit more energy and hopefully it's going to be good."

“I thought, really, that they may tail off, and just watching them now, preparing for them, I don’t see that happening,” said Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan. “It’s going to be a tough battle. Maybe two months ago I thought ‘if we can get going and they slide a little bit …’ but 10 points against a team that’s playing this well?

“That’s a good hockey team over there and that’s tough ground to make up, but we do play them four times and those opportunities present themselves, but it’s not something we’re fixated on.”
