Let's see what the lines look like.

If Prout is on the 3rd pair with Kylington, then Hamonic will be sitting.

I wouldn't mind seeing Hamonic sit to rest up and giving Andersson and Kylington more ice. Give them a chance to go up against the super Swede to test themselves, they should relish that opportunity.

I thought they both played pretty well against a real good Winnipeg team. Got hemmed in a few times but so did the top two pairings. It's really exciting to watch these two kids. It's really odd, but they really remind me of MacInnis and Suter. Not saying they are going to be hall of famers, but there are similarities there.

Andersson, the big shot, but lumbering some might say "choppy" skater like MacInnis. Makes up for it with smart heads up plays and positioning.

Kylington, the smallish but puck rushing skater like Suter. Can also shoot the puck too.

I think on any other team, both these guys would be on the PP and racking up points, but because the flames have a strong top 4, both guys are being eased into things. Flames defense could be real scary by the end of the year once both of them have had a full season of NHL experience.
