The 23-year-old defenseman, who missed the Panthers' 4-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday because of an illness, would play his 400th NHL game. The No. 1 pick in the 2014 NHL Draft has 176 points (66 goals, 110 assists) in 399 games for Florida.
Mike Matheson will not play for Florida, which has won two straight and has points in six consecutive games (3-0-3). The defenseman is expected to be out 10-14 days with an undisclosed injury.
Forward Sam Bennett will be back in the Flames lineup after missing two games with a lower-body injury. Calgary is 3-2-0 in its past five games.
