PREVIEW - FLAMES VS. CANUCKS

The Flames will host the Vancouver Canucks in pre-season action on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. MT.
Calgary dropped their first two exhibition games, falling to the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 at the Scotiabank Saddledome and 5-2 at Rogers Place on Monday.
Forwards Micheal Ferland and Johnny Gaudreau and defenceman Michael Stone lead the Flames in scoring in the pre-season with two points each. Captain Mark Giordano leads the team with six shots.

Calgary utilized four goaltenders in their opening pre-season games, with veterans Mike Smith and Eddie Lack and prospects Jon Gillies and David Rittich each playing half of a game.
The Flames head into Wednesday's game with a trimmed-down training camp roster after reassigning or releasing 21 players on Tuesday. Five goaltenders, 14 defencemen and 28 forwards remain at camp.
