Flames look to avoid letdown vs. West-worst Blackhawks
The way the Calgary Flames see it, they've turned a corner and are looking like the team they were supposed to be.
Calgary's home clash with the cellar-dwelling Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday is an opportunity to prove it.
The Flames, who have won two straight games, have often been guilty of looking past underdog clubs, and a Blackhawks team at the bottom of the Western Conference is the kind of team they could be caught looking past.
Calgary in action against Chicago after overtime victory
LAST 10 GAMES: Flames: 5-3-2, averaging 3.4 goals, 5.9 assists, 3.7 penalties and 9.3 penalty minutes while giving up 2.9 goals per game. Blackhawks: 6-4-0, averaging 3.1 goals, 5.5 assists, 3.4 penalties and 9.4 penalty minutes while giving up 2.9 goals per game. INJURIES: Flames: Brett Ritchie: out (wrist), Oliver Kylington: out (personal). Blackhawks: Jujhar Khaira: out (back), Tyler Johnson: out (ankle), Jarred Tinordi: out (face), Alex Stalock: out (concussion).

If Markstrom needs to get a game in i'd rather it be this one over the one in Seattle tbh.

I think this will be a start for Markstrom and a chance at redemption given the last time he played Chicago. Vladar can start in Seattle after travel.

I would agree this would be a better game for Markstrom, and you can give Vladar the Seattle game.
That said, I posted this in the PGT from Monday:

Overall, Vladar is 6-0-0 wearing black jerseys, while Markstrom is 0-3-1.
The math is pretty simple: Darth Vladar + Dark Mode = Win
|
Surely Sutter won’t ignore such clear and compelling evidence to start Vladar?!?

Apparently the Canucks outshot Chicago 37-5 at even strength.
This should be as close to a guaranteed 2 points as possible and we all know what that means.

What if he loses? Do we shut him down for the rest of the season?

Well considering Sutter doesn't even know Pelletier's jersey number you better call him up and explain these numbers to him...

Also with the Blue Jackets win over the Oilers the Hawks are the last place team in the league.
When was the last time we played the worst team in league in back to back games? I'm guessing never.

I forgot we have that big break coming up.
You have to start Markstrom in one of the games or he will be sitting for way too long and probably have his confidence crushed even more.
