<p>Riding a four-game losing skid (and a three-game points streak), the <strong>Calgary Flames (13-11-6, 32 points)</strong> try to get back into the win column when they host the <strong>St. Louis Blues (14-15-1, 29 points)</strong>. The Blues are playing the second game as a back-to-back set (and second of a five game western swing), while both teams have required overtime in each of their past three games.</p>
<p>The broadcast begins at 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan!</p>

<h2><strong>The Flames</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Dube &#8211; Lindholm &#8211; Toffoli<br />
Huberdeau &#8211; Kadri &#8211; Mangiapane<br />
Ruzicka &#8211; Backlund &#8211; Coleman<br />
Lucic &#8211; Zohorna &#8211; Lewis</p>
<p>Hanifin &#8211; Andersson<br />
Zadorov &#8211; Weegar<br />
Mackey &#8211; Stone</p>
<p>Jacob Markstrom is the projected starter, backed up by Dan Vladar. The projected extras are Matthew Phillips and Brett Ritchie. Chris Tanev is still day-to-day after blocking a shot with his head. Milan Lucic returns to the lineup after being absent for three games as a healthy scratch.</p>
<p>The Flames have lost four in a row. But their last three have been overtime or shootout losses, so they&#8217;ve gotten points. Have they been <em>bad</em>? Nope! Have they been great? Also nope! They&#8217;ve been a bit uneven in their games, and they haven&#8217;t had anybody be able to be a difference-maker offensively.</p>
<p>Can anybody be that guy against the Blues?</p>
<h2><strong>The Blues<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Saad &#8211; O&#8217;Reilly &#8211; Leivo<br />
Buchnevich &#8211; Schenn &#8211; Tarasenko<br />
Barbashev &#8211; Thomas &#8211; Kyrou<br />

Krug &#8211; Faulk<br />
Mikkola &#8211; Bortuzzo<br />
</span></p>
<p>We&#8217;re projecting Thomas Greiss to start, backed up by Jordan Binnington (who started on Thursday in Edmonton). Thursday&#8217;s extras were Calle Rosen, William Bitten, and Australian national hero Nathan Walker. <strong>Walker is in, bumping Tyler Pitlick to the press box.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the second half of a back-to-back for the Blues, who beat Edmonton in a shootout last night in a game that was punctuated by some back and forth swings – and a few rough turnovers from Edmonton. The Blues are hoping they can claw back to .500 with a nice outing against the Flames.</p>
