The Calgary Flames hit the practice ice on Tuesday morning as they prepare to face the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. There was good news and bad news from the session.
While Sean Monahan and Mikael Backlund were back on the ice after missing Monday’s skate, Dillon Dube was absent and is said to be questionable for tomorrow.
Projected lines from today’s skate (via Steinberg):
Gaudreau – Monahan – Lindholm
Tkachuk – Backlund – Frolik
Bennett – Jankowski – Neal
Hathaway – Ryan – Czarnik
Tkachuk – Backlund – Frolik
Bennett – Jankowski – Neal
Hathaway – Ryan – Czarnik
Giordano – Brodie
Hanifin – Andersson
Valimaki – Stone

One would presume that if Dube does play, that would bump Mark Jankowski to the sidelines based on Monday’s groupings. Dalton Prout and Anthony Peluso look to be the other scratches.
