Jones, Brodie expected to make season debut

CALGARY -- Blair Jones and TJ Brodie are expected to make their season debut as the Calgary Flames host the Anaheim Ducks Monday.

Both players were healthy scratches in Calgary's home opener, a 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

"I've been looking forward to the start of the season for a long time so for me, personally, it's a big deal," Jones said.

Jones, who had four points in 21 games for the Flames after being acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning in a trade in January, was disappointed to sit out Sunday.

"It's a pretty tough pill to swallow but it's really out of my control," he said. "I'm just going to worry about what I can do and that's play a hard game tonight."

Here’s how the Flames' lineup will likely look Monday night:

Curtis Glencross - Alex Tanguay - Jarome Iginla

Sven Baertschi - Mikael Backlund - Mike Cammalleri

Roman Horak - Matt Stajan - Lee Stempniak

Blake Comeau - Blair Jones - Tim Jackman

Mark Giordano - Jay Bouwmeester

Chris Butler - Dennis Wideman

TJ Brodie - Cory Sarich

Miikka Kiprusoff
