Default Flames at Preds - 6pm mountain - Janko's return!

Flames hoping to build momentum on road trip: http://calgaryherald.com/sports/hock...6-8903cdeb4e4d

I'm pretty pumped that Janko may never go back again.

Negativity out the door! Flames win 3-1 with Bennett getting his first goal of the season assisted by Janko.

I think we get shutout the team can't score and we never adjust our system to teams that clog up the neutral zone. Nashville will walk away with this one but on a plus side I am excited to see janko!!!

I forgot this was a road game and thus starts an hour earlier. This is a very good thing.

Line combinations and matching might be a little tougher on the road, but I hope the Flames play a disciplined game that allows the main line combinations to stay together long enough to see how they work - especially with regards to Jankowski and Bennett, of course.

Remember that wacky heart attack inducing game in Nashville last year? I can see more of the same. Hoping for a big night for Bennett, that would be great to see. Flames bounce back and win this 6-3

Hamonic with a weird one.

Excited to see how Jankowski and Bennett play. I am really hoping to see glimpses of the Bennett we saw 2 years ago. I just know he's still got it, just needs to get some confidence back. I also think that the wing is best suited for him.

Go Flames Go.

Big win that will make moving forward even more confusing as Janko will show he belongs.

predicting another barn burner. Nashville has looked sloppy in their own zone, and so have the flames.


5-4 Flames

Going to be a tall order for a Flames team to start generating more chances 5-5 against one of the stingiest teams in the league. Hopefully the addition of Jankowski and the move of Bennett to the wing is the cure to what ails the bottom 6 and the start of a big run.

Excited for this game - Jankowski and Bennett. I think/hope this is the other top 9 pairing the Flames so desperately need.

And I love watching PK

I'm not sure if I love watching our PK but I'm sure as hell used to watching our PK.

Nashville seems to have tightened up things defensively over the last few, but they also lost to a pretty dreadful Ranger team. Flames take it 4-2.

Definitely looking forward to watching Jankowski play tonight. That line should be hustling out there. Bennett and Lazar on the wings are going to give their defencemen fits I think. I bet they generate some opportunities 5v5, and hopefully they can get on the scoreboard. I am just hoping that they get a bit of time together to try and develop some chemistry. Having a line that has chemistry and can play reasonably well at both ends of the ice will bode well for any playoff aspirations beyond the 1st round.

wow, Ferland on the top line. I hope he starts to play like he used to because he's been very ineffective lately.

So excited for the "third" line
