The Calgary Flames battle the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night in the third of four Battles of Alberta of the 2021-22 regular season. In advance of the game, the club unveiled three new lines at Monday’s morning skate.

The first line of @Johnny Gaudreau, @Elias Lindholm and @Matthew Tkachuk is untouched. It’s a great line and doesn’t need any adjustments.

The new second line features @Blake Coleman, @Mikael Backlund and @Trevor Lewis. The trio has spent 16:49 together at five-on-five this season (all time-on-ice stats here are via Natural Stat Trick). Backlund and Coleman have been together for much of the season, though, with 504:34 together. (The coaching staff appears to really like forward pairings.)

The new third line features @Andrew Mangiapane, rookie @Adam Ruzicka (back from the press box) and @Tyler Toffoli. This is a brand-new line: these three haven’t played together at all this season, and none of the constituent pairings have played much together either. It’s a big opportunity for Ruzicka, who to this point has primarily played with some combination of Brett Ritchie, Brad Richardson, Milan Lucic and Trevor Lewis.

The new fourth line features @Milan Lucic, @Sean Monahan and @Dillon Dube. These three have played 82:28 together this season, which isn’t nothing but also isn’t a ton. But Lucic and Monahan have been together with a different third linemate for 170:00, Dube and Monahan with somebody else for 179:18, and Dube and Lucic have played together off and on since both have been with the club.
