Jacob Markstrom, the starting goaltender 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, indicating that Chris Tanev is ready to return to action. Markstrom, although not fully healed, feels good enough to play and is set to start against the Florida Panthers. The Panthers, on the other hand, have placed Anton Lundell on Injured Reserve and are hoping for a resurgence from struggling players like Jonathan Huberdeau.
