Overview

• Puck drop is set for 8:00 p.m. CDT (7:00 p.m. MT) at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary.
• Connor Hellebuyck is slated to start for Winnipeg as the Jets dress a group that closely mirrors their opening-night roster.
• Calgary is expected to start Dustin Wolf with Devin Cooley backing up, and Jonathan Huberdeau is day to day and not expected to play after Wednesday’s collision.
• Projected Jets lines include Connor–Scheifele–Vilardi and Nyquist–Namestnikov–Perfetti, with Jonathan Toews (lower-body) and Dylan Samberg (broken wrist) unavailable.
• Anticipated Flames combinations, extrapolated from Pat Steinberg’s reporting, slot Nazem Kadri and Mikael Backlund at center with Oliver Kylington’s defense partners listed as MacKenzie Weegar and others per team projections, with streaming on Flames.com and radio on Sportsnet 960; TSN3 carries the game in Winnipeg.
