GDT: Jets @ Flames | 7:00 MT | Stream, FAN960
Brrr... It's cold and this is probably the last GDT I do this season. The last preseason game and we're off to the real games.
Jakub Nakladal, Tyler Wotherspoon, Patrick Sieloff, Kenney Morrison, and Garnet Hathaway assigned to Stockton on Friday
"There’s a battle for that spot and it’s down to two players – Brett Kulak and Ryan Wilson."
Hartley hasn't made a decision on his starting netminder for Saturday's battle at the 'Dome. Joni Ortio made 23 saves in Thursday's 3-1 setback while Karri Ramo and Jonas Hiller split the goaltending duties in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.

Crap, streaming. I hope they won't be blacking out the Centre Ice feed of the TSN broadcast.

Hearing @NHLJets had some plane problems this am. May not skate in CGY prior to tonight's final preseason game. Late arrival for sure

Hiller, Ramo the two goalies on the ice for morning skate. No Ortio. Gate closed. #Flames
Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Hiller and Ramo your goalies tonight. Not sure if they'll split or not yet, will find out soon from Hartley. #Flames

re Wilson:
my guess is that they want to give Kulak one more look, with NHL lineups. If he convinces that he is ready, then great. If not, they run with the experience of Wilson until Brodie is back.

LOVE the lines like that!
For me, Bouma - Backlund - Frolik makes the most sense.
And I love Ferland with Bennett - adding Jooris brings a tom of speed and tenacity. That line will be a buzz saw.
No surprises on the 1st or 4th lines

Wow, last night I wrote down what I thought would be the opening night lineup and burned it at my Hartley shrine, looks like he must've received my offering

I am 100% sure this will be the starting lineup for game 1. Ortio will likely stay for now. Wilson will probably earn a 2-way contract but be sent down until the Ortio situation is resolved. Granlund and Byron make the team as extra forwards. Raymond is either dumped for a late round draft pick, or is put through waivers. Colborne is injured to start the season, and by the time he makes it back we will likely have another forward or two injured, so I'm sure we won't be recalling anyone any time soon.

@SUNRandySportak: Look who just joined the skate, Joni Ortio.
Pretty sure he’s not playing, but will take extra shots.

Yup, looks like a Game One roster.
Granlund to Stockton. Wilson signed and sent to Stockton. Byron, Raymond, and Ortio as the extra 3 roster spots to start the season.
The Ferland-Bennett-Jooris line should be fun to watch.

I am so excited for that 3rd line. I would be scared to death going against that forecheck.

That's quite telling. Sounds like there's lots of pressure on Kulak tonight. Wilson doesn't have the chance to play himself into a spot, but Kulak could potentially play himself out of a spot.
At least he holds the cards. Good luck Brodie Jr!

Don't care for Jooris being on the Ferland Bennett line.

Don't see this game on the centre ice channels but I do see it on TSN 3. Will this be blacked out for non Alberta or Manitoba residents? I live in Van and really want to watch this one

Why might I ask? Great puck possession, great speed, good finish. He's been a force this preseason too.

I wonder if they're deliberately putting pressure on Kulak to see if he can handle it.
