Happy with Peluso coming in. It will keep Rinaldo in check.
Not surprised to see Janko out, he wasn't really doing much (albeit very limited minutes) but both of his game 1 linemates have now been given additional opportunity up the line-up, and I think the eye test for me confirmed just that, he needs a kick in the pants and has been a passenger.
Not surprised to see Ryan only down to fourth line but will be interesting to see if Peters plays favorites with him if his struggles continue, as he has looked the worst of all flames forwards so far (aside from the faceoff circle, which is his specialty)
Excited about the Rookie D pair, but I don't expect them to see much ice time if its a close game.
As always though, the game will come down to goaltending.
Lets see how the flames do against their first "NHL calibre roster" after opening with two against the nucks, who are nothing special
