The Flames are coming off a 5-3 win over the Red Wings in Detroit Wednesday night to start this four game road swing. Once again it the was the top line that lead the way, with Gaudreau scoring the game-winner in the third period and collecting three helpers. Elias Lindholm had a goal and two helpers and Sean Monahan had a goal and an assist. Mike Smith was excellent between the pipes, making 29 saves and earning the player of the game nod from his teammates … The Flames have won two straight and three of their last four and sport an impressive +31 goal differential.

The same day it was announced the Flames would meet the Jets for an outdoor tilt in the Heritage Classic at Regina's Mosaic Stadium Oct. 26, the Bruins hit the ice for an outdoor tilt of their own. Tuukka Rask made 39 saves to lead his team to a 4-2 win Tuesday over the Blackhawks in front of a sold-out crowd of 76,126 at Notre Dame Stadium in the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic. Sean Kuraly scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and Brad Marchand sealed it with an empty-netter with 33 seconds left to play. David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron each had a goal and an assist to round out the scoring for Boston … The Bruins are 6-4-0 in their last 10 tilts, and have won two straight, including a 3-2 overtime victory in Buffalo on Dec. 29.

Sounds like Mike Smith starts vs Boston tonight. Other lineup decisions to come.
Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
Mike Smith will get his second straight start vs. #Bruins. Jon Gillies will back-up. #Flames might make one change at forward. #CGYvsBOS
edit:
Head coach Bill Peters said there is a chance Andrew Mangiapane could draw into the lineup if he's medically cleared to play but for the time being plans to ice the same lineup that beat the Red Wings 5-3 in Detroit Wednesday night.
