Andersson was injured after being hit while on a scooter in Detroit last week but will now be a game-time decision Thursday as Calgary takes on Detroit. The 26-year-old has been enjoying a very good season, with seven goals, 27 assists, 111 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 51 games prior to his injury.

Vladar allowed two goals on 17 shots (.882 SV%) to snap a five-game winning streak as he was downed by the Detroit Red Wings in his previous start. The 25-year-old has turned Calgary's goaltending job into a near 50/50 split due to his 11-5-4 record, 2.73 GAA and .903 SV%. He takes on one of the NHL's hottest teams in the Detroit Red Wings, who have won four straight contests after a 5-4 shootout win over Edmonton last night.

Tinordi left the Blackhawks' previous game vs. Montreal after just 3:03 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the injured reserve Wednesday. The 30-year-old has two goals, three assists, 17 SOG, 20 PIMs, and a -6 plus/minus through 27 games prior to the injury.

Tinordi suffered a lower-body injury early in Tuesday's game in Montreal and was ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs. Look for Ian Mitchell to draw back into the Blackhawks' lineup to replace him.



Vladar stopped 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) for his fifth-straight win as he defeated the Seattle Kraken in his previous start. The 25-year-old has turned the Flames starting job into a timeshare with his solid play, as shown by his 11-4-4 record, 2.77 GAA and .904 SV%. He takes on the Detroit Red Wings, who have lost their last two games but are 24th in the NHL in goals per game (2.98).

Andersson was riding a scooter to dinner on Wednesday when he was struck by a car in Detroit. He was taken to a local hospital for a full battery of tests before being released last night. The Flames say that Andersson will remain with the team and is listed as day-to-day.




Hanley has yet to pick up a point through 13 games this season but has nine SOG, 15 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus but will be a healthy scratch as Nils Lundkvist draws back into the Stars' lineup.

Vladar stopped 21 of 24 shots (.875 SV%) for his fourth win in five starts as he beat Tampa Bay in his previous start. The 25-year-old Flames' backup has been mediocre this season, with his 9-4-4 record, 2.74 GAA and .906 SV%. He will face the Columbus Blue Jackets, who just snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 win over San Jose last game but rank 28th in the NHL in both goals for per game and shots per game.
