Valimaki not practicing, Neal odd man out
UPDATE:
@Fan960Wills
Despite looking like the odd man out at #Flames practice today, James Neal will play vs. #Coyotes tomorrow.
UPDATE:
@KdotAnderson
#Flames head coach Bill Peters said he hasn’t made a decision on the starting goaltender.
Valimaki missed today’s practice with a lower body injury.
And asked Peters about if they’ve considered sitting James Neal: “I haven’t. We think he’s trending in the right direction.”
UPDATE:
by RYAN DITTRICK @ryandittrick
Juuso Valimaki is nursing a minor lower-body injury and did not participate in Saturday's practice at Gila River Arena.
The rookie D man may not be able to play Sunday when the Flames close out a two-game road trip against the Arizona Coyotes.
If he's unable to play, Oliver Kylington - who was recalled, along with Ryan Lomberg, from the Stockton Heat on Friday - will make his 2018-19 debut.
