Glencross a game-time decision after missing two

CALGARY – Having missed two games due to injury, it comes as good news to Calgary Flames coach Bob Hartley that forward Curtis Glencross is a game-time decision.

Having finally iced a healthy lineup with the return of Mikael Backlund on Friday, Glencross missed a back-to-back set against the Los Angeles Kings with an upper-body injury but could return Wednesday night against the Detroit Red Wings.

“That’s great news for us because obviously he’s a big part of our forward group," Hartley said. "He’s a big part of our team. That was great news.”

Glencross has eight goals and 13 points in 22 games for the Flames this season.

Here’s Calgary’s projected lineup against Detroit tonight:

Alex Tanguay – Matt Stajan – Jarome Iginla

Curtis Glencross – Mikael Backlund – Lee Stempniak

Jiri Hudler – Mike Cammalleri – Roman Cervenka

Steve Begin – Blake Comeau – Tim Jackman

Jay Bouwmeester – TJ Brodie

Dennis Wideman – Mark Giordano

Derek Smith – Chris Butler
