<p>Last weekend, the Calgary Flames&#8217; youngsters played three games in Penticton. Now, with the veterans in the fold, things ramp up a bit as the 2024-25 exhibition calendar for the Flames kicks off tonight at Climate Pledge Arena as they visit the Seattle Kraken.</p>

<p>A fairly youthful Flames lineup faces what&#8217;s likely to be a pretty veteran-heavy Kraken, as is tradition for early pre-season road dates, and we&#8217;ll see what information we can all glean from it.</p>
<p>The puck drops at 8 p.m. MT and you can catch the action streamed on the Flames website or listen live on Sportsnet 960 The Fan!</p>
<h1>The Flames</h1>
<p>Here&#8217;s who&#8217;s making the trip to Seattle tonight, per the club.</p>
<ul>
<li>Goaltenders Dustin Wolf and Connor Murphy</li>
<li>Defencemen Artem Grushnikov, Jake Bean, Hunter Brzustewicz, Jeremie Poirier, Zayne Parekh and Brayden Pachal</li>
<li>Forwards Dryden Hunt, Jakob Pelletier, Kevin Rooney, Matt Coronato, Samuel Honzek, Adam Klapka, Sam Morton, Matvei Gridin, Hunter Laing, Clark Bishop, William Stromgren, Cole Schwindt and Martin Frk</li>
</ul>
<p>Per Sportsnet&#8217;s Pat Steinberg, Wolf starts in net. The Flames didn&#8217;t do line rushes in morning skate, so we&#8217;ll wait until warm-up to determine lines.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a first chance for pre-season action for 2024 first rounders Parekh and Gridin, who both impressed in Penticton. We&#8217;ll see how they look against a more seasoned Kraken group.</p>
