Line Change
Morrison-Jokinen-Iginla
Morrison practiced on the top line and could draw in there if Curtis Glencross is unable to play tonight. He has one goal through 10 games as he continues to recover from season-ending surgery.

Line Change
Confirmed Morrison and Derek Smith in for #Bluejackets Flames.
It appears Morrison is back to 100 percent. The veteran looks to improve on his zero points over his first eight games of the season.
Line Change
Brendan Morrison is 50-50, according to Sutter.
Morrison could play for Rene Bourque, who is a bit banged up. The veteran last played on November 4th due to a combination of a knee injury and decreasing skill set. Don't expect much from the 36-year-old.
Brendan Morrison goes on injured reserve...reminds me a little of Craig Conroy last season.
So far, Morrison has no points through eight games. He may not have been fully healthy as he finally shows his age at 36-years-old.
Morrison and Sarich may sit.
Morrison apparently did not play during the third period in the team's last game. Despite centering the top line, he has no points through eight games. There are probably better options.

Morrison back on the top line - let's see if this works. #Flames
Last season he scored nine goals and 43 points through 66 games while playing primarily on the top line. Expect that to be his absolute ceiling this season.
Line Change
#Flames C Brendan Morrison (knee) on a line with Bourque and Hagman.
Morrison skated with the third line during today's practice, a strong indication he is ready to re-enter the lineup. Last season he scored nine goals and 43 points through 66 games while playing primarily on the top line. Expect that to be his absolute ceiling this season.
Morrison is cleared to play, just isn't quite up to speed. He's still technically on IR though.
When Morrison returns, he should center the top line with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay. Last season he scored nine goals and 43 points over 66 games in that role. He should produce slightly less, regressing with age.
Morrison and Ivanans continue on IR as they were there to finish last season. Backlund is normal IR, not LTI. #Flames
Morrison was signed to center the top line and would slot back into that slot if healthy. Last season he enjoyed a productive season, scoring 9 goals and 43 points over 66 games. Don't expect too much out of this 36-year-old pivot.
The Calgary Flames announced on Friday afternoon the signing of Brendan Morrison to a one year contract.
Morrison enjoyed a surprising season when he made the team out of camp and found a role as the top-line center. You can expect this line -- with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay -- to at least start the season together.
