It started on Friday against the San Jose Sharks and continued Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks. It has been a long journey, but last game, the Calgary Flames forward lines were exactly what they should be. They were perfect. Now it is time to fix the D.
Glen Gulutzan has optimized the forward lines.
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Versteeg-Bennett-Chiasson
Bouma-Stajan-Brouwer
With Glen Gulutzan switching Kris Versteeg and Lance Bouma after Sam Bennett had a terrific performance against the Sharks on Friday, things finally look exactly how they should.
They have one of the best lines in the entire NHL in the Backlund unit, a trio that can take on the toughest match ups and drive play the right direction while being an offensive threat.
