Jacob Markstrom, the starting goalie for the Calgary Flames, has been removed from the injury reserve after recovering from a broken finger. As a result, Dustin Wolf and Ilya Solovyov have been reassigned to the AHL's Wranglers. This indicates that Chris Tanev is ready to return to action. Markstrom, despite his finger not being fully healed, felt good enough to play and started against the Florida Panthers. Additionally, Travis Sanheim returned to the ice for the Philadelphia Flyers after missing a game due to illness. Chris Tanev also returned to the lineup for the Flames after missing three games with an upper body injury.
Quietly, Jacob Markstrom has been stellar tonight #flames

Jacob Markstrom looked normal today at practice. He said his finger isn't fully healed but that he feels good enough to play. "It might take a few more weeks for it to heal." Said the priority was being able to hold his stick & there were equipment modifications needed. #Flames
