Calgary Flames forwards Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau will be reunited on a line with Alex Chiasson to begin a three-game road trip. "It's fun," Monahan said. "Obviously we've played together the last two years and we have chemistry there. When we're out there together and we're feeling it, it's a lot of fun so tonight's a big game. We both need to be at our best." Gaudreau will play in his 200th NHL game. "It's crazy," Gaudreau said. "My full third year here and it's crazy to hear that. I didn't even know about that." Goalie Brian Elliott will start. He replaced Chad Johnson and made 23 saves in a 7-3 loss against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. "I really liked his game when he came on in relief in the Saturday game," coach Glen Gulutzan said. "His previous game was [Jan. 14] in Edmonton in the 1-1 game that went to a shootout and I thought he was real good in that game so it's a good game for him to come in to tonight." The Flames are 1-3-1 in their past five games and will try to end a two-game losing streak. "That game in Edmonton stung and that's something that's in the past now," Monahan said. "This is a big game for us, a big trip."
