With the Scotiabank Saddledome prepping for the Harlem Globetrotters' show on Thursday evening, the Flames headed over to the Corral for their morning practice.
Sean Monahan left mid-way through the hour-long skate after taking a high-stick to the face. As per head coach Glen Gulutzan, the injury isn't serious.
"He's going to get four or five stitches to the bridge of his nose," Gulutzan said. "He'll be fine."
Prior to Monahan leaving, the team ran through drills with lines and pairings:

FORWARDS
Johnny Gaudreau - Sean Monahan - Micheal Ferland
