Flames Dec 7 Practice notes. Smith starts vs Preds. Backlund will miss at least 2 games

Practice scheduled at noon, but Stone is skating before practice.

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
#Flames defenceman Michael Stone is back on the ice this morning, skating on his own before practice. He’s recovering from a blood clot in his arm.

I doubt he plays soon, he's probably still on blood thinners.

That’s cute. The Oilers have circled the date and selected a goalie.

Has anyone told them they have a game tonight that they maybe shouldn’t look past?

Probably for some time too. You don't just go on blood thinners for 2 weeks and then go off.

He can probably do non-contact skating for conditioning though.

It is time for the Flames to prove that they can be resilient. Lots of players have been waiting for their chance to get more opportunities. Its time for the young guys like Czarnick, Mangianpane, Jankowski and Bennett to make a statement.

What is interesting is there hasn't been any callups reported on the ice.

According to Loubardias, Giordano is on the ice.

Jankowski is in Backlund's spot on the second line, ATM.

Big loss for the Flames... assuming it was a concussion probably 4-6 weeks I'm guessing?

I would assume someone is coming up to replace Lomberg.

Interesting, so they are completely done with the idea of Bennett at centre now? I think he’s still better than Czarnik at centre. Maybe this means Backlund will be back or they will be calling up a centre from Stockton. Can’t see Peters playing Czarnik at centre.
