Head coach Ryan Huska reiterates there’s no timeline on an Oliver Kylington return with him skating today. “There is nothing imminent there. It was a good feeling seeing him back with the guys.” Team really wants to take it slow and be cautious on this. #Flames
There’s no update on a timeline for Oliver Kylington with him skating today. Head coach Ryan Huska will address it a little later here at the ‘Dome. Team is excited he’s on the ice with a few guys today. Definitely a neat thing to see. #Flames
There remains no timeline for Oliver Kylington's return to #Flames active roster but goes without saying that everybody around the Saddledome is thrilled that the 26-year-old defenceman is skating with teammates today.
Good to see Oliver Kylington on the ice in Calgary. He’s been skating with a trainer, on his own, for weeks. No timeline for his return. That will depend on how Oliver feels moving forward.
