<p>After a pretty successful road trip featuring three overtime games, the <strong>Calgary Flames (7-5-3, 17 points)</strong> are back at home for the first half of a back to back set. First up? They host the <strong>Los Angeles Kings (9-4-3, 21 points)</strong>, one of their more fierce divisional rivals.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s broadcast begins at 6:30 p.m. MT on Amazon Prime and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. It&#8217;s both the first Flames game not on a Sportsnet TV broadcast in <em>years</em>, and it&#8217;s the annual Remembrance Day game, where we honour those who have served their country.</p>
<h1>The Flames</h1>
<p>Here are projected lines via Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Connor Zary &#8211; Nazem Kadri &#8211; Yegor Sharangovich<br />
Jonathan Huberdeau &#8211; Martin Pospisil &#8211; Andrei Kuzmenko<br />
Blake Coleman &#8211; Mikael Backlund &#8211; Matt Coronato<br />
Ryan Lomberg &#8211; Kevin Rooney &#8211; Justin Kirkland</p>
<p>Kevin Bahl &#8211; Rasmus Andersson<br />
MacKenzie Weegar &#8211; Daniil Miromanov<br />
Tyson Barrie &#8211; Brayden Pachal</p>
<p>Dustin Wolf is slated to start in net, backed up by Dan Vladar. (Vladar was excellent in the Flames&#8217; season-opener against the Canucks, so it makes sense to go to him on the second half of the set on Tuesday.) The projected extras are Adam Klapka, Jake Bean and Joel Hanley.</p>
<p>Since the beginning of November, the Flames have gone 2-1-2 – their lone regulation loss was to Edmonton. They haven&#8217;t played picture perfect hockey, but they&#8217;ve battled and made every game a close one. For a team where they are in their developmental arc, that&#8217;s a big development and something they deserve credit for. The thing that&#8217;s eluded them is in-game consistency, with some tough starts that led to dramatic comebacks.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s good that they have dramatic comebacks in their repertoire, you just wish they didn&#8217;t have to go to that well so often.</p>
<h1>The Kings</h1>
<p>Projected lines via Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Trevor Lewis &#8211; Anze Kopitar &#8211; Adrian Kempe<br />
Kevin Fiala &#8211; Phillip Danault &#8211; Trevor Moore<br />
Alex Laferriere &#8211; Quinton Byfield &#8211; Warren Foegele<br />
Andre Lee &#8211; Samuel Helenius &#8211; Akil Thomas</p>
<p>Mikey Anderson &#8211; Vladislav Gavrikov<br />
Joel Edmundson &#8211; Brandt Clarke<br />
Andreas Englund &#8211; Jordan Spence</p>
<p>Darcy Kuemper is projected to start in net, backed up by David Rittich. The projected extras are Kyle Burroughs and Caleb Jones.</p>
<p>Since Nov. 1, the Kings have gone 3-1-1 – their long regulation loss came against Vancouver. The Kings are a pretty formidable hockey club. They have a pretty balanced lineup and they&#8217;ve played the same way for basically a decade: fast, physical and structured. They might not have the high-end skill that teams like Vancouver or Edmonton do, but they have a clear identity and when the going gets tough, they lean on that in games.</p>
<h1>Unavailable players</h1>
<p>The Flames are without Anthony Mantha.</p>
<p>The Kings are without Drew Doughty, Alex Turcotte, Arthur Kaliyev and Tanner Jeannot.</p>
