Brent Sutter obviously is expecting his team to go for vengeance against the Blue Jackets tonight.

The Flames head coach doesn't want blood, but wants to see a team perform better than a week ago in Columbus.

"Obviously we never played close to our potential," Sutter said. "When you play them, you've got to prepare like it's going to be a real tough game where you're gonna fight for space and you've got to want that space.

"You have to be prepared to match that."

The lines are the same as yesterday, including placing Aaron Johnson into the lineup for Adam Pardy on the blueline.

Said Sutter of Johnson:

"It's his first game in the lineup. So just being a steady guy for us, just being responsible defensively, making smart plays, simple plays, being accountable.

"He's not a player ... I'm looking for numbers from. I want from him ... that can shut down the opposition."










If Ryan Getzlaf cannot play in the Olympics due to injury, which player should replace him on Team Canada's roster?
  Steven Stamkos
  Brad Richards
  Jeff Carter
  Someone else
