Flames' Dryden Hunt: Sent back down
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Calgary on Saturday.
Hunt was called up Thursday and sat out as a healthy scratch for the last two games of the Flames' road trip. He could be called up prior to Monday's game versus the Kings if the Flames feel the need to carry an extra forward.

Flames' Justin Kirkland: Snags assist Thursday
Kirkland logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Kirkland may get more steady playing time while Anthony Mantha (lower body) is on injured reserve. The 28-year-old Kirkland was scratched twice to start November, but it looks like he's got some job security, as he would require waivers to be reassigned to AHL Calgary. He's produced six points, four shots on net, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 11 outings this season.

Flames' Ryan Lomberg: Offers assist in overtime loss
Lomberg recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
The helper was Lomberg's second of the campaign, snapping a seven-game slump. The 29-year-old winger is in the lineup for energy and toughness, though he's gone two games without a hit. He's added seven shots on net, 28 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 contests as a fixture on the Flames' fourth line.

Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Logs power-play assist
Weegar registered a power-play assist, four shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Weegar has been rather quiet on offense with two assists over his last eight games. The defenseman is up to six points, 34 shots on net, 36 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 appearances. He'll be in a position to put up good numbers throughout the year -- he's averaging 23:32 of ice time per game, including 3:17 on the power play. Even when he's not scoring, he usually makes a contribution through physical play.

Flames' Tyson Barrie: Scores first goal of season
Barrie scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Barrie has two points while playing in the Flames' last five games. Still, his spot in the lineup is not secure -- Jake Bean and Brayden Pachal are also in contention for third-pairing minutes. Barrie has two points, 11 shots on net, six hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances this season. His lack of stable playing time makes him a risky fantasy option.

Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Nets power-play marker
Sharangovich scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Sharangovich has two goals over his last three contests after starting his campaign with four scoreless outings following his return from a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old forward has held down a top-six role and saw a season-high 21:56 of ice time Thursday. He's added 17 shots on net and a minus-5 rating. Fantasy managers will want more offense out of him -- he's unlikely to supplement his production with hits or PIM.

Flames' Nazem Kadri: Forces overtime Thursday
Kadri scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Kadri is bouncing back from a cold stretch with a point in each of his last two outings after a four-game slump. The center's tally midway through the third period Thursday salvaged a standings point as the Flames kept the game tied before falling in overtime. Kadri is up to eight points, 42 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 14 appearances as a top-six center.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Falls in OT
Wolf made 34 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
The young goalie blanked Boston in the third period to give his team a chance to rally and force OT. Wolf nearly got the game to a shootout too, but Brad Marchand was able to bang home his own rebound with 20 seconds left in the extra frame. After winning his first three starts of the season, Wolf is 1-2-1 over his last four, giving up at least four goals in each loss.

Flames' Dryden Hunt: Called up from minors
Hunt was promoted from AHL Calgary on Thursday.
Hunt's recall comes after Anthony Mantha (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Even with his promotion, the 28-year-old Hunt is far from a lock for the lineup and will likely need to edge out Kevin Rooney for minutes. In 28 regular-season contests last year, the Hunt notched three goals and five assists while averaging 11:08 of ice time.

Flames' Anthony Mantha: Lands on injured reserve
Mantha (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
Mantha was injured in Tuesday's clash with Montreal and now should be expected to be sidelined for at least the Flames' next three contests. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old winger was finding his stride with three points in his last four outings. Barring a long-term injury, Mantha should still be capable of pushing for the 40-point mark after racking up 44 points in 74 regular-season outings with Vegas and Washington last year.

Flames' Anthony Mantha: Not playing Thursday
Mantha (lower body) wasn't at practice and will miss Thursday's game in Boston, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Mantha was injured in the opening stanza Tuesday and did not return. Head coach Ryan Huska said Thursday that Mantha was "still being evaluated." Mantha has four goals and seven points in 13 games this season. Look for Kevin Rooney to enter the lineup in Mantha's absence.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting in Boston
Wolf will defend the visiting crease in Boston on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf is off to a good start as he has been sharing the net with Dan Vladar. Wolf is 4-2-0 with a 2.99 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Wolf will make his first back-to-back starts of the season, as he stopped 22 shots in a 3-2 win over Montreal on Tuesday. The Bruins are tied for 27th in NHL scoring, averaging only 2.43 goals per game after being shut out in Toronto on Tuesday.
