Not clear what pairing will sit tonight, though.

Smith will start but still unclear if he will play the whole game.

Finally the Flames ice a competitive group for a pre season game I bought tickets for. If we don't win I will be disappointed. How much so depends on how much I drink.

GO FLAMES

That looks like the forward line-up going into Oct 4th. Only swap I see is Hamilton for Lazar and Jankowski for Glass. Allows Stajan to move left with Jankowski playing centre.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Versteeg-Bennett-Brouwer
Glass-Stajan-Hamilton

Jankowski/Lazar

So aside from the 4th line, this is pretty much the starting lineup.

Any word on Vancouver's lineup?

Over Jankowski? I doubt it.

Janko has only been used as a centre this preseason and has killed it consistently.

Figured they wouldn't sit Stone. Hopefully it's as a last chance for Bartkowski

I hope so, I would like that. Haven't been paying close attention to positions I just know Stajan has had that role for a long time now and Gully seemed to trust him last year. Based on preseason, I agree, Jankowski has been great.

My hope for opening night (with the players we have):

Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Bennett - Brouwer
Stajan - Jankowski - Lazar
Hamilton/Hathaway

Giordano - Hamilton
Brodie - Hamonic
Kulak - Stone
Bartkowski

Smith
Lack

OR switch the forward lines up like this:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Jankowski - Ferland
Lazar - Stajan - Brouwer
