Hope springs eternal for all clubs in game one of 82, so let’s see who’s bringing the optimism to start the fresh season!
The only major news is in the blue paint, where after missing Wednesday’s practice with an undisclosed illness it should still be Jacob Markstrom starting tonight.
Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960:
Jacob Markstrom is on the ice and in the starter’s net at morning skate. Missed practice yesterday with illness.
Looks like he’ll get the start on night one vs. Colorado. #Flames— Pat Steinberg (@Fan960Steinberg) October 13, 2022Aside from the top line we don’t have many established formations to go with at this early point so starting from scratch for the regular season we’ll go with the lineup from morning skate!
