I think Glass will probably get the Edmonton game. I thought he played well in it, and did a good job of keeping Kassian more honest.
That will actually be an interesting game. Intimidation is a thing in the NHL, and I think that is partly why the Flames have not been as successful against Edmonton. Giordano mentioned how intimidating it is playing against Stewart, so I imagine playing against Lucic - who is more of a head case - and throw in Nurse and Kassian who are both headcases themselves - and maybe that is the dynamic that has changed.
Heck, just to test the theory, let's play Glass, Stewart, Ferland and call up Prout while we are at it, and intimidate them for once.
They are easier to play against without Maroon - both the fisticuffs, but especially the net-front presence and agitation he did to the Smith.
I am not sure how many more games Glass gets, but I bet he does get an Edmonton game at least, and I would much rather have him drop the mitts than Ferland having to do it.
