Something that’s a lot less clear is who his backup will be going forward. So earlier this week, two related things happened that could impact the Flames – or perhaps, at the very least, are a reflection of their goaltending situation.

But since teams have a finite number of contracts and roster spots, they can’t sign everybody, and sometimes draftees don’t end up signing with the clubs that drafted them.

A goal, four shots and a plus-3 rating for Andrew Basha in a 6-0 win for Medicine Hat over Spokane in Game 3. Game 4 goes tomorrow night on TSN.
