Default Flames vs Lightning, 7:30 MST, Sportsnet West, Fan 960

It may be chilly outside, but it'll be hot in the 'Dome when the Flames host Tampa Bay tonight.

The Flames are the NHL's runaway train right now, and the Lightning have picked a bad time to stop in:


Spoiler!



Go Flames

This will be a great test for the Flames and a win tonight and that sets up for a big showdown against the Jackets on Friday.

I am going to say 3-2 Flames and goals from Gaudreau, Monahan, and Wideman

Some rumblings that Kucherov might be out, he left practice early and the Lightning recalled Conacher this morning.

Wes Gilbertson @WesGilbertson
#Flames RW Kris Versteeg working with power-play unit. Seems likely that he returns to lineup tonight against Lightning.

Calgary Herald article this morning says that Kucherov will not play. With Stamkos also not playing, this could be a tough game for Tampa. Go Flames!

While no Stamkos or Kucherov is a gift for the Flames, it makes for a big lack of star power for anyone watching the game tonight.

I'm watching the game tonight and I'm more than fine with those guys being out of the lineup.

Preferred actually.

Much more upset about not being able to see Hathaway tonight. Love that guys game.

Tampa is 2-7-1 in their last ten games. They are also on a three game losing streak.

People upset about Hathaway being out but in reality it could be a good thing. I like his game as well but this style of game is hard on the body. Bouma should be fairly well maintained after coming back from injury and we know he is only 4 or 5 shifts away from being hurt again. Give Hathaway another day off to get some bumps and bruises healed up and bring him back. We want him to be consistent and a night off can help him.
