<p>Riding a five-game losing streak, the <strong>Calgary Flames (2-6-1, 5 points)</strong> look to snap out of their funk as they return home from the 2023 Heritage Classic in Edmonton. But they&#8217;ll face a stiff test when they host the <strong>Dallas Stars (5-1-1, 11 points)</strong>, one of the NHL&#8217;s top teams.</p>
<p>The broadcast begins at 6:30 p.m. MT on Sportsnet One and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.</p>

<h2><strong>The Flames</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Huberdeau &#8211; Lindholm &#8211; Mangiapane<br />
Hunt &#8211; Backlund &#8211; Coleman<br />
Sharangovich &#8211; Kadri &#8211; Zary<br />
Greer &#8211; Coronato &#8211; Duehr</p>
<p>Weegar &#8211; Andersson<br />
Hanifin &#8211; Tanev<br />
Zadorov &#8211; Gilbert</p>
<p>Jacob Markstrom is the projected starter, backed up by Dan Vladar. The projected healthy extra is Jordan Oesterle. Ruzicka remains out day-to-day with a shoulder injury, while Dillon Dube won&#8217;t play due to an unspecified injury of his own. Rasmus Andersson returns from his four-game suspension, while Connor Zary has been recalled from the AHL&#8217;s Wranglers and is expected to play.</p>
<p>Matt Coronato looks to line up as a centre for the first time in his young NHL career due to the absences of Dube and Ruzicka, and Sharangovich moving back to the wing. (Of the players who&#8217;ve been tried out at centre this season, Sharangovich has by far the worst face-off results.)</p>
<p>The Flames won twice in October, and they&#8217;ve lost their last five games and seven of their last eight outings. They haven&#8217;t been out-and-out <em>bad</em> in most of their games, but they&#8217;re a team with some flaws, and they&#8217;ve struggled mightily to score five-on-five this season and they&#8217;ve been too leaky defensively (due to many, many turnovers).</p>
<p>But the Flames could get a nice jolt of energy as Zary makes his NHL debut.</p>
<h2><strong>The Stars</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Robertson &#8211; Hintz &#8211; Pavelski<br />
Benn &#8211; Johnston &#8211; Dadonov<br />
Marchment &#8211; Duchene &#8211; Seguin<br />
Dellandrea &#8211; Faksa &#8211; Smith<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"><br />

Harley &#8211; Hakanpaa<br />
Lindell &#8211; Lundkvist<br />
</span></p>
<p>Joel Oettinger is projected to start in net for Dallas, backed up by Scott Wedgewood. Joel Hanley and Sam Steel are their projected extras.</p>
<p>The Stars have earned 11 of 14 possible points to start their season. They have a team that&#8217;s a nice blend of youth, skill and veteran poise. In short: they&#8217;re good, well-balanced, and poised to take a big step. They&#8217;re a big, big challenge for a Flames team that&#8217;s struggled to find consistency so far this season.</p>
