Analysis:

Ramo has been in a battle with Jonas Hiller for Calgary's No. 1 goaltender job throughout the preseason, so the fact that he's getting the nod for the Flames' season opener is definitely an encouraging development for his owners. Ramo posted a 15-9-3 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 34 games with Calgary last season.
