Brzustewicz will be scratched Saturday in Pittsburgh.
Brzustewicz played in two straight games but he will be replaced by Brayden Pachal in the lineup on Saturday. Since coming up from the AHL, Brzustewicz has just one assist in 12 games.
Line Change
Pachal will be back in the Flames lineup on Saturday.
Pachal played 13:57 TOI on Monday but was a healthy scratch for the last two games. Today he'll replace Hunter Brzustewicz on the third pairing. Pachal has yet to score and has just three assists in 22 NHL games.
Stromgren will draw back into the Flames lineup on Saturday.
Stromgren played 8:04 TOI in his NHL debut on Wednesday but was a healthy scratch on Thursday. He'll replace Blake Coleman, who is day-to-day, on Saturday.
Coleman is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not play Saturday.
The Flames announced that Coleman would not play Saturday right before warmups started in Pittsburgh. He's considered day-to-day and will be replaced by William Stromgren in the lineup.
Goalie Start
Cooley will start Saturday in Pittsburgh.
Stromgren is a healthy scratch for Thursday's game in Boston.
Line Change
Kirkland will draw into the Flames lineup on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Wolf will start in Boston on Thursday.
Backup Devin Cooley is reportedly ill and not quite feeling 100%, so Wolf will get the rare opportunity to make starts on back-to-back nights. Wolf took the loss in Montreal on Wednesday, allowing four goals on 35 shots in the 4-1 defeat. The 24-year-old netminder leads the league both in starts and losses heading into Thursday night's matchup, where the Flames enter action at +115 on the money line.
Parekh is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Parekh started the season in the NHL but struggled to acclimate before an injury sidelined him for a lengthy period. He was then sent to play for Team Canada at the U-20 World Junior Championship, where he excelled with 13 points (5G / 8A) in seven games. The Flames hope his bronze-medal success can give the 19-year-old some confidence whenever he returns from his injury.
Goalie Start
Wolf will start in Montreal on Wednesday.
After a horrendous 2-9-2 start to the season, the Flames have played reasonably well, going 16-11-2, and miraculously find themselves only five points shy of a playoff spot midway through the season. Wolf's performance has also seen an uptick during that time, posting a 2.45 GAA and .908 SV% in 22 games (12-8-1). That said, the 24-year-old sophomore goalie has allowed four goals in two straight (0-2-0) and hopes to rebound on Wednesday when the Flames visit a Montreal Canadiens team with points in eight of their last nine games (6-1-2). Montreal enters the game as a +131 road underdog.
Line Change
Pachal will be a healthy scratch in Montreal on Wednesday.
Hunter Brzustewicz will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens, sending Pachal back to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Pachal is averaging 13:25 time-on-ice and has three assists in 22 games this season.
Line Change
Kirkland (undisclosed) is expected to be out vs. Montreal on Wednesday.
Kirkland has only played two games in the last month, and he will return to the sidelined on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 9:26 time-on-ice and has one assist in 11 games.
Brzustewicz is expected to draw back into Calgary's lineup in Montreal on Wednesday.

Stromgren will make his NHL debut in Montreal on Wednesday.

After a horrendous 2-9-2 start to the season, the Flames have played reasonably well, going 16-11-2, and miraculously find themselves only five points shy of a playoff spot midway through the season. Wolf's performance has also seen an uptick during that time, posting a 2.45 GAA and .908 SV% in 22 games (12-8-1). That said, the 24-year-old sophomore goalie has allowed four goals in two straight (0-2-0) and hopes to rebound on Wednesday when the Flames visit a Montreal Canadiens team with points in eight of their last nine games (6-1-2). Montreal enters the game as a +131 road underdog.

He was then sent to play for Team Canada at the U-20 World Junior Championship, where he excelled with 13 points (5G / 8A) in seven games. The Flames hope his bronze-medal success can give the 19-year-old some confidence at the NHL level.

Beecher did not play in Calgary's most recent game, serving a one-game suspension, and will now be sidelined on a week-to-week basis because of an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old Beecher has three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games this season.
