Sergei Belski / USA TODAY Sports
Calgary Flames prospect Sam Bennett will play in his first NHL game on Saturday.
Bennett will make his debut in the Flames' final regular season game when they play the Winnipeg Jets.
The fourth-overall pick in last June's draft scored 11 goals and added 13 assists in 11 games with the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs after piling up 91 points in 57 contests with the club last season.
He underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in October.
Two other Flames rookies will join Bennett and make their debuts. Defensemen John Ramage and Brett Kulak will suit up for their first NHL action.
