I'm not seeing Czarnik as a second line guy in Neal's absence.  I'd have thought Bennett gets another shot, or maybe Quine.

Czarnik has slotted in there before, but doesn't make much sense to fly up there in Neal's absence with Bennett present.

			Flames are 5-5 in their last 10 in Dallas including 1 SO win. 
 
They have lost their last 2 their with the most recent being a 2-0 shutout. 
 
All-time in Dallas/MN the franchise is 32-43-11-3.

			Well, I'm wrong. 
Rare, but it happens.   
On the plus side of things, with these injuries they aren't losing a lot of goals from the lineup.
 
On the down side, Prout.

			With Neal and Bennett out it is a good chance for Czarnik, Rychel, and Quine to prove their worth. Good players turn these opportunities into careers.

@WesGilbertson 
Based on the length of Dalton Prout's morning skate, I doubt #Flames are going with 7 D in Dallas. Sure looks like Sam Bennett is a go against Stars. He says he's ready.
