Again, why would you insert Prout and sit Stone?
Did Andersson play every game with Giordano? I don't recall. Even still I would be reluctant to line him up on the top pairing in his first NHL game this year, still in his rookie season. I think because Andersson is not a great skater that he could be better sheltered playing with Hanifin.
I wonder if Andersson will get and powerplay time? That would certainly add a positive wrinkle to what was the worst aspect of the Flames game on Weds.
