Ramo (lower body) will be available to back up Jonas Hiller for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Canucks, Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun reports.

Analysis:

Ramo was sidelined for the remainder of the regular season after suffering an injury in an April 4 outing, but after a week and a half off, he appears to have sufficiently recovered. Prior to missing time, Ramo had been displaced by Hiller as coach Bob Hartley's go-to option in the net, a trend that figures to continue in the first round of the playoffs. Ramo will likely need Hiller to have a poor outing or two before receiving a chance to start.
