Flames shuffle lines, Travis Hamonic absent at Friday’s practice

The Calgary Flames hit the practice ice on Friday afternoon at the Stampede Corral as they began preparations for their Saturday night game with the Vancouver Canucks. The skate saw a single absence and a few line shuffles.

Defenseman Travis Hamonic was absent from the practice. He blocked a shot with his hand during Thursday’s win in Winnipeg but finished the game.

Coach Peters says Hamonic had a maintenance day today. Says he fully expects him to play tomorrow.

No goaltending decision for tomorrow vs. Vancouver. #Flames

  • Bennett – Jankowski – Neal
  • Frolik – Ryan – Hathaway

Alan Quine’s departure shuffles Sam Bennett back to the third line, while Austin Czarnik slides in alongside Matthew Tkachuk and Mikael Backlund.
