After an off-day on Monday, the Calgary Flames are back in action! And they continue their eight game exhibition schedule when they welcome the Seattle Kraken, or a reasonable facsimile, to the Scotiabank Saddledome.

In keeping with traditional pre-season protocols, the Flames are dressing a veteran-laden group while Seattle is bringing a group that more closely resembles the hated Coachella Valley Firebirds, their minor league affiliate and perennial thorn in the Wranglers’ side.

Either way, things get going just after 7 p.m. MT, streaming on the Flames website and over the airwaves on Sportsnet 960 The Fan!

The Flames are coming off a split squad, well, split, against Edmonton on Sunday. They lost 3-0 at home but won 3-2 in overtime up in Edmonton. They’ll be seeking to look a little bit more connected and like themselves at home, after engaging in some fairly poor puck management on Sunday in their shutout loss.

Via Steinberg, Parekh looks to be quarterbacking the top power play unit, with Brzustewicz doing so for the second unit. This group, overall, is a nice mix of prospective NHL players with top AHLers that could be pushing for NHL duty this season.

Seattle beat Vancouver by a 5-3 score at home on Sunday to kick off their six game pre-season schedule.

Here’s Seattle’s group for this evening:
