Geoff Ward to coach Flames in Buffalo; Peters investigation continues

The Calgary Flames provided an update on Tuesday evening on their ongoing investigation into Bill Peters conduct. The update was a simple one: Peters won’t coach the Flames on Wednesday night in Buffalo, and associate coach Geoff Ward will run the bench instead.

Treliving continued: Bill Peters will not be behind the bench for tomorrow night vs. Buffalo. Associate coach Geoff Ward will handle head coach duties.

We will have no further comment until our review is complete. #Flames

Should the Flames part ways with Peters, Ward may be the front-runner for a promotion.
