Only 12 healthy forwards up right now so it makes sense. He isn't a great player but I didn't see him as a liability out there and would be good to keep Kassian and Lucic honest in case they start chasing Tkachuk around for bumping into the guy who never fights his own battles.
I think the flames have more than enough scoring punch to beat the oilers with Hathaway or czarnik out for peluso.
