BUFFALO, N.Y.—Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving says coach Bill Peters remains on the staff, but wasn’t certain whether he’d be behind the bench for the next game. Flames associate coach Geoff Ward oversaw practice, which included a brief huddle with the players at centre ice. The Blackhawks issued a statement saying nothing had previously been brought to their attention regarding Peters and Aliu before Monday. They’re 1-5-2 in their past eight a year after Calgary won a franchise-record 50 games in Peters’ first season as coach. Forward Mitch Marner confirmed that during his rookie season Babcock asked him to rank Maple Leafs players in order of hardest to least-hardest working.
