Flames veterans return to action in Monday game against Oilers

Monday night's exhibition game against the Oilers was the Flames' third, but it was actually the season opener for a pair of Flames veterans. Sean Monahan and Noah Hanifin laced them up for the first time as the Flames looked to extend their pre-season win streak to three games. Hanifin had to shut down his season late last year, after being injured in an April 24th game against the Montreal Canadiens. Two days later, it was announced that he needed shoulder surgery and was done for the season.
