Travis Hamonic ‘could miss some time’ due to injury

Following the first game of the 2018-19 season, it sounds like the Calgary Flames may be missing one of their defensive stalwarts.

Hamonic fought Erik Gudbranson in Wednesday night’s game after the Canucks forward nailed Dillon Dube with a hit. It didn’t go well for him, as Gudbranson decked Hamonic with an uppercut.

Hamonic missed most of the first period, but came back and finished the game wearing a face shield.

The Flames open their home schedule on Saturday night against Vancouver.
