A first look at the Huberdeau-Lindholm-Toffoli line. A first look at McKenzie Weegar as a Flame — on a pauring with Connor Mackey no less. The Canucks and Flames are clearly reserving their more entertaining players for the home crowd, but it’s funny that Lucic, Ritchie, Pospisil, Klapka, Zadorov and Meloche are all playing in Vancouver. That’s a miserable group to play against.


Here is the expected Canucks lines in Calgary.

Stop by tomorrow for post-game thoughts.
