Alex Tanguay missed practice Monday in what coach Bob Hartley described as a maintenance day. The Flames have played four games in the first 10 days of the schedule and have only five in the next 13 days as they start off the first 23 days of the season with the least amount of games. Nevertheless, Tanguay was given the day off and was replaced on the top line by Steve Begin. Hartley said that Tanguay will be good to go on Tuesday.
