Sat Mar 01 20:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Flames Shuffle Lines, Panthers Maintain Lineup After Wins and Losses

**Calgary, AB/Sunrise, FL –** The Calgary Flames are considering altering their forward lines after a disappointing 3-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Florida Panthers are expected to keep their winning lineup intact. Flames coach Ryan Huska indicated Friday that line adjustments are a possibility, but a decision on the starting goaltender remains pending. The Panthers, meanwhile, will likely use the same lineup that secured a 4-3 victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, according to coach Paul Maurice.

The Flames’ recent struggles were highlighted by their announced lines featuring Jonathan Huberdeau centering Nazem Kadri and Matt Coronato, amongst others. Notably absent from the lineup were Adam Klapka, Jake Bean, and Daniil Miromanov.

For the Panthers, the continued absence of forward Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) is a significant factor. Tkachuk will miss his fourth consecutive game and is ruled out for Monday’s game against the Lightning as well. The Panthers’ lineup against the Oilers saw the likes of Aleksander Barkov, Sam Reinhart, and Carter Verhaeghe leading the charge.
