Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh has a lingering upper body injury and won’t play tonight and likely won’t go on upcoming road trip. John Gilmour and Neal Pionk both making NHL debuts tonight.
Former Flame John Gilmour plays against the club that drafted him.
Former Flames prospect John Gilmour will make his NHL debut tonight.
That's interesting. How many 2013 flames picks have played at least 1 nhl game now? Obviously Monahan. Poirier has had a few. Did Klimchuk get a late season cameo at some point? And has Kanzig had a game in Carolina yet? Roy, Harrison, Rafikov and Gilmour are the others. I'm still holding out hope for Poirier and Klimchuk, but 5 years on that isn't a great draft class.
That said, I'll take Monahan and a bunch of busts any day of the week.

Troy Brouwer suffered a facial fracture in the game last night. Does not require surgery. The team calling it week to week. Will be re evaluated in 10 days

To answer my own questions:
Gilmour is the third Flames' 2013 pick to play in the NHL after Monahan and Poirier. Kanzig has not even cracked Carolina's AHL squad this year.
