Giordano (upper body) is on the ice for pregame warmups and could enter the lineup Friday against the Islanders, Roger Millions of Sportsnet reports. This is quite the development, as the Flames had ruled Giordano out for the evening just hours earlier. Apparently, Giordano felt healthy enough during his off-ice workout to campaign for his entry into the lineup, but coach Bob Hartley and the team's medical staff will assess his condition during warmups before rendering a verdict in his decision. Given that Giordano has been the top producing fantasy blueliner this season, his owners will surely want to keep tabs of his situation leading up to the puck drop.
