Status report
Hameenaho, who was recalled from Utica of the American Hockey League on Saturday, will make his NHL debut. … Palat, who missed a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday because of an illness, will play. … Nemec, who was scratched Saturday, will replace Kovacevic, a defenseman, in the lineup. … Whitecloud is expected to make his Flames debut after being acquired in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday, along with defenseman prospect Abram Wiebe and two NHL draft picks for defenseman Rasmus Andersson. … Coleman, who has missed Calgary’s last four games, practiced in a noncontact jersey. Coach Ryan Huska said the forward is considered day to day. "He was on the ice with the group for the first time today and he'll practice with us tomorrow and we’ll see how he keeps progressing from there," Huska said.
