Status report

The Flames only had four players at an optional morning skate but one of them was Vladar, who is expected to start after Wolf made 28 saves in a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. … Calgary isn’t expected to make any other changes, meaning Bean, a defenseman, could be scratched for a sixth time in seven games. … Vancouver also had very few players take part in an optional skate, but coach Rick Tocchet confirmed Lekkerimaki will make his NHL debut on the top line and Arshdeep Bains will play after being called up from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. … Tocchet said Joshua, a forward, could make his season debut against the New York Islanders on Thursday.
