CALGARY -The Flames are expected to make a couple of changes up front this evening when they host the Canadiens.
Matthew Tkachuk, Elias Lindholm, and Andrew Mangiapane could play together, Dillon Dube is expected to play alongside Sean Monahan and Mikael Backlund, and Johnny Gaudreau is slated to skate with Milan Lucic and Derek Ryan.
These lines are based on yesterday's skate as the team held an optional morning skate this morning.
