PROJECTED LINEUP - FLAMES VS. OILERS (SIMULATION)

Together again!
You know, in the virtual sense.
Today, Flames TV will broadcast a live simulation of the Battle of Alberta through the enormously popular NHL20 video game
. David Rittich will get the start in goal for the Flames, looking to improve on his 24-17-6 record, a.907 save percentage and a 2.97 goals-against average.
The Oilers, meanwhile, will counter with former Flame Mike Smith, who's lost two in a row and enters the contest with a .905 save percentage and a 2.95 goals-against average.
The following forward lines and D pairs are based on Calgary's Mar. 11 practice:
