Flames recall Sven Baertschi, Wolf, and Wotherspoon

I hope Wolf draws in vs the Oilers. No better first game to play in then the BoA and possibly score his first goal. I hope the dome staff plays a wolf's howl if he scores.

Manfred Wolf is also by far the coolest name I've ever heard.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Colborne - -Backlund - Jones
Baertschi - Jooris - Byron
Wolf - Stajan - Bouma
Raymond, Bollig

Giordano - Brodie
Russell - Wideman
Wotherspoon - Diaz
Engelland

Colborne doesn't play LW though and has been quite effective on the RW. Bouma has a more complete game than Byron and is actually putting up offense. Why demote him to the 4th line and give Byron ice time he hasn't earned?

He's trying to rekindle the good game Baerstchi had on that line.
But at this point, absent Bollig, who has zero offensive ability that I've seen (he tried to stickhandle to the net with one hand last night), I think you can make a 3rd and 4th line who actually get about equal ice time and have equal offensive ability.

I do think Sven needs to be on the LW and Colborne needs to be on RW. Wolf is listed as a LW and shoots left but I thought he might be able to play RW.
