Friends, there’s a hockey game tonight that’s as close to a Calgary Flames game than we’ve seen in months. The Flames’ prospects will play the first of a pair of games against the Edmonton Oilers greenhorns in what we affectionately call the pre-pre-season.
It’s meaningless hockey, but there are some things to keep your eyes open for during the pair of games.

There are four players playing in this week’s pair of prospect games who played NHL games last season. From the Oilers, there’s Cooper Marody, Kailer Yamamoto and Evan Bouchard.
