The Calgary Flames have been making roster changes, including recalling right-winger Adam Klapka from the AHL's Wranglers. This move follows the assignment of Walker Duehr to the Wranglers and the injury of rookie Martin Pospisil, who is expected to miss a couple of weeks. The team is considering options such as Matt Coronato as a potential recall to fill the roster spot left by Pospisil's injury.
More moving parts for Calgary’s roster. Martin Pospisil’s upper body injury opens up a top nine forward spot if/when placed on IR. Matt Coronato feels like the natural recall. Up to 12 goals and 29 points in 27 games with the AHL Wranglers. #Flames
Sounds like relatively good news for #Flames Martin Pospisil after an ugly spill last night. Pospisil is expected to miss a couple weeks, likely return after All-Star break. Certainly not season-ending, which is big for a player who has helped bring out the best from Kadri.
#Flames coach Ryan Huska on injury to Martin Pospisil: “From what I understand, he’s doing OK. I haven’t got an official update on him yet but hopefully it’s not something that keeps him out a long time.” https://t.co/ByeVayLpOk
Martin Pospisil will not return to tonight’s game vs. Toronto with an upper body injury. Left the game late in the first period. #Flames
Pospisil didn’t come out for 2nd period #flames https://t.co/vjmceYMNR3
Don't see Martin Pospisil as #Flames return for second period.
With Martin Pospisil's injury history, you really hope that's not serious. The #Flames rookie forward needed help to the room after that awkward crash into boards.
Yikes. Rookie Martin Pospisil is down in the corner and clutching his left knee. In serious discomfort. Trainers out now. #Flames
Duehr officially assigned to the Wranglers now. Calgary back to 22 on their active roster. #Flames https://t.co/DjGNpGGyqv
Doesn’t appear from line rushes Klapka will make his NHL debut tonight #flames https://t.co/S1IUepN1it
Adam Klapka takes his first strides as an NHLer #flames https://t.co/NOycJWhKTO
Another solo lap tonight? #Flames have recalled right-winger Adam Klapka, who has notched 10 goals and 21 points so far this season with the AHL’s Wranglers.
#Flames are calling up Adam Klapka from the AHL Wranglers. 10 goals and 21 points in 33 games this season with the Wranglers.
#Flames have Dennis Gilbert on IR per NHL media site. Brings the active roster down to 22 players. Adds flexibility if team wants to recall a forward from the AHL Wranglers before Walker Duehr clears waivers. Adam Klapka, Clark Bishop, Matt Coronato all interesting options.
Evidently, Duehr on waivers would open up a roster spot. Gotta imagine a call-up or other transaction is in the works #Flames
