The Calgary Flames made a sizable adjustment to their lineup for Saturday night's game versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. Veteran forward Milan Lucic is a healthy scratch, while AHL scoring leader Matthew Phillips will be making his season debut on the third line with Mikael Backlund and Adam Ruzicka.

Lucic has struggled to find his game so far this season, putting up just five assists in 27 games.

Philips does not bring the size that Lucic does at 5'7" and 155 pounds, but the scoring potential is there. The 24-year-old has tallied 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) in just 20 games with the Calgary Wranglers.

Calgary will hope to get a spark from the young forward after a disappointing reunion game versus Johnny Gaudreau on Friday night, losing 3-1 to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
