Vancouver Canucks vs Calgary Flames: Full Lineups Revealed for Tonight's Matchup
The Canucks and Flames will meet in a preseason game tonight that is taking place in Abbotsford, BC, and both teams have revealed their lineups.
The Calgary Flames take their preseason show on the road to Abbotsford tonight to face the Vancouver Canucks after a strong effort at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday.
The Flames enter this game on a hot note following their 4-1 win over the Seattle Kraken.
Matt Coronato, Rory Kerins, Sam Morton, and Yegor Sharangovich scored, while Dustin Wolf and Owen Say shared the workload in making 19 of 20 saves in goal.
It was Calgary's second preseason contest and one that continued to build upon their confidence as they continued to tinker with their roster. They have revealed their lineup for tonight's tilt, and it appears to be very young and inexperienced.

Vancouver's Defensive Breakdowns Led to a Loss vs. the Kraken Last Game
Vancouver comes into tonight's game seeking a rebound after losing the preseason opener 5-3 to Seattle. Nils Aman, Chase Stillman, and Victor Mancini supplied the offense but were defeated by defensive breakdowns.
Between the pipes, Nikita Tolopilo was brilliant with 13 of 14 saves, while Ty Young had a difficult night, yielding four goals on 10 shots faced.
There are several players worth keeping an eye on in tonight's game. Rory Kerins, who put up 61 points with the AHL's Calgary Wranglers last season, will keep making his case for more NHL time after scoring a goal last night.
Abbotsford's Arshdeep Bains will be worth watching on the Canucks. He put up 43 points in the AHL last season and is fighting for a larger role in the organization. The Canucks revealed their lineup as well, and it is more star-studded than Calgary's.
With both sides continuing to experiment with their lineups, tonight's match presents an added opportunity for the young guns to take the limelight and for veterans to establish themselves as the regular season nears.
