The Calgary Flames return to the Scotiabank Saddledome on Sunday looking to get back into the win column as they welcome the Philadelphia Flyers for their only visit to Calgary this season.

The Flames are coming off a 5-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday and will be looking to put together a stronger performance against a Flyers team that is also coming off a loss, falling 3-2 to the New York Rangers.

Sunday’s matchup also comes with some significant news on the Calgary blue line. The Flames announced earlier in the day that defenceman Kevin Bahl has been placed on long-term injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles tendon. His absence leaves a significant hole on the back end for a Calgary team that will need others to step up.

There is also a familiar face on the opposite side of the ice, as former Flames goaltender Dan Vladar returns to Calgary with the Flyers.

In net, Devin Cooley is expected to get the start for the Flames. Cooley was activated off injured reserve and served as Dustin Wolf’s backup on Friday against Anaheim. Sunday is an opportunity for him to get back between the pipes and give Calgary a strong performance.

As per morning skate, here’s how the projected Flames lineup shapes up:

Forwards

Joel Farabee - Mikael Backlund - Matt Coronato

Yegor Sharangovich - Morgan Frost - Aydar Suniev

Matvei Gridin - Martin Pospisil - Ryan Strome

William Stromgren - Jonathan Castagna - Adam Klapka

Defence

Joel Hanley - Simon Nemec

Jake Middleton - Zach Whitecloud

Yan Kuznetsov - Zayne Parekh

Goaltenders

Devin Cooley (starter)

Dustin Wolf

The Flames will look to use home ice to their advantage and get back on track against a Philadelphia team making its only trip to Calgary this season. With Bahl’s season-ending injury adding another challenge, Sunday’s matchup presents an opportunity for the rest of the group to respond.
