Greetings from the Scotiabank Saddledome, where the Flames held an optional practice as they regrouped following the 5-4 overtime loss that gave the Ducks a 3-0 series lead in their first-round playoff matchup. Game 4 will be played Wednesday at the Saddledome.
Flames Coach Glen Gulutzan wouldn’t commit to saying he will start goaltender Brian Elliott, who let in a couple of soft goals in Game 3 that sustained the Ducks’ rally. Gulutzan said to expect a couple of lineup changes, likely to add youth and fresh legs, and he said he told players not to try to win four games in one on Wednesday.
