Joey MacDonald will start the final game of the season for the #Flames tonight.
No farewell for Miikkaa Kiprusoff tonight as MacDonald will start for the Flames. I don't think his numbers are really necessary. The Flames are bad, the Blackhawks are really good. It could not be more black-and-white, don't start MacDonald. If you think they can pull out a miraculous win that can win you the championship by starting MacDonald, then more power to you!
Joey MacDonald gets the start for the #Flames tonight.
MacDonald allowed just one goal on 35 shots in a win over the Wild on Sunday. He has won four out of his last five starts, but he has a tough matchup vs. the Blues tonight. Not someone you can trust at this point in the season.
Miikka Kiprusoff gets the start in net for the #Flames tonight.
Given his numbers this year Kipper is a tough start but a struggling Nashville squad could be the antidote. The lineup in front of him is borderline AHL caliber though.
The Flames report forward Curtis Glencross will miss 4-6 weeks with a grade 2 MCL sprain.
With the Flames eliminated from playoff contention, it’s only the next seven days and four games they’ve got to worry about not having him in the lineup.
