Possible Lineup, Prust, Erixon, and Torts

-Based on comments from Torts and observations of who participated in practice, it is inferred that the lineup for the Calgary game tonight is the same one used during the game against the Vancouver.
-Prust admits that his first shift back at Calgary will be emotional. Prust was traded to the Rangers from Calgary  on February 1, 2010 along with Ollie Jokinen in exchange for Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgens. 
-Michael Sauer is closer to returning to the line up, but says he wants to take some hits in practice first. 
-Tim Erixon was Calgary's first round draft pick in 2009. He threatened Clagary he would re-enter the draft in 2011, basically forcing a trade. He was traded to the Rangers in exchange for prospect Roman Horak In lieu of the upcoming game between the two teams, Calgary general manager Bret Sutter says he has no comment on Erixon. I hope Erixon has a great night against the team that drafted him. 
-Karlsson will start in goal tonight for the Flames instead of Kiprisoff. Lundqvist gets the start for the Rangers. 
-Torts has stated that his team needs to stop taking bad penalties. If they can;t do this, the Rangers will find themselves in a deep hole. 

The Game starts at 9:30 p.m.
