PROJECTED LINEUP - FLAMES @ CANUCKS

VANCOUVER, B.C. - James Neal will return to the lineup tonight as the Flames visit the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.
The veteran has missed the past 17 games after suffering an upper-body injury on Feb. 14 against the Florida Panthers. He has 15 points (5G, 10A) in 55 games this year.

Meanwhile, Sam Bennett - who left Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators with an upper-body injury - will not be available. As a result, Neal will take Bennett's place on the third line with Mark Jankowski and Austin Czarnik.
Mike Smith will get the start in goal as he looks to improve on his 20-14-2 record, an .897 save percentage and a 2.83 goals-against average.
Smith is coming off an 18-save performance in a 5-1 win over the Sens on Thursday, and is 6-3-1 in his last 10.
Here are the forward lines and D pairs deployed at the morning skate:
