Flames' Michael Frolik: Set for role on top line Saturday

Frolik is projected to play on the top line with Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan in Saturday's game against the Blues, the Calgary Sun reports.

Analysis:

As is so often the case with the league's best scoring duos, the right wing slot has been a revolving door this season next to fantasy stars Monahan and Gaudreau. Through five games, the Flames have tried Kris Versteeg, Troy Brouwer, Alex Chiasson, rookie Matthew Tkachuk and even fourth-line energy guy Michael Ferland for a couple shifts. It appears Frolik will be next to line up with No. 23 and No. 13, which makes sense given his three goals and 10 shots on net this season. Furthermore, the Czech is an eight-year NHL veteran with four 40-plus-point campaigns to his name, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do in a plum role on Calgary's top line.
