Frostbee Reunion
Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee found themselves back on the same line during Tuesday's third period in Columbus, and the duo were back together again at Thursday morning's skate on a line with Jonathan Huberdeau.
The longtime teammates have chemistry, no doubt, but for Farabee, the key against the Blackhawks tonight is to score the gritty-type goals that Calgary managed to find against the Blue Jackets.

"I know my role in the line," he said. I've got to do a little bit of stuff getting to the net and things like that. Just try and keep it simple, limit the mistakes,
"I think we're gonna have a good night."
