The now 28-year-old has struggled to recapture that scoring prowess, with only 61 points (26G / 35A) in 109 games since.

Kuzmenko will have to wait at least one more game before making his debut with the Flyers. Their next game will be on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kuzmenko broke onto the NHL scene in the 2022-23 season with a tremendous 74 points (39G / 35A) in 81 games with the Vancouver Canucks. The now 28-year-old has struggled to recapture that scoring prowess, with only 61 points (26G / 35A) in 109 games since.

Kuzmenko broke onto the NHL scene in the 2022-23 season with a tremendous 74 points (39G / 35A) in 81 games with the Vancouver Canucks. The now 28-year-old has struggled to recapture that scoring prowess, with only 61 points (26G / 35A) in 109 games since.

Kuzmenko was a late scratch on Thursday after taking full part in the morning skate earlier in the day. It's unclear if he's simply a healthy scratch or dealing with some sort of injury. Kevin Rooney will draw into the lineup in his place.

Kuzmenko has been in and out of the lineup lately and will return to a familiar place on the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Monday when the Flames visit the Chicago Blackhawks. The 28-year-old Kuzmenko has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 16 games. Rory Kernis will draw into Calgary's lineup on Monday, replacing Kuzmenko.

Walker Duehr will draw into the lineup on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, sending Kuzmenko to the press box as a healthy scratch. Kuzmenko has struggled to produce this season, scoring only 10 points (1G / 9A) in 29 games this season. He has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 13 games.

For the first time this season, Kuzmenko will be a healthy scratch. After scoring 74 points (39G / 35A) in 81 games in his rookie season in 2022-23 with the Vancouver Canucks, Kuzmenko has failed to find that same scoring touch. The 28-year-old has nine points (1G / 8A) in 25 games this season and has been held off the scoresheet in nine straight.

Kuzmenko is on his way to Calgary as the key piece to the trade for Elias Lindholm after struggling to live up to the 39-goal season he posted as a rookie. Kuzmenko reportedly had to waive a no-trade clause in order to facilitate the deal, as the Flames were said to be on his 12-team no-trade list. The 27-year-old should be in line for a bigger role in Calgary after struggling to secure minutes in Vancouver's top-six this season. Kuzmenko scored eight goals and added 13 assists in 43 games for the Canucks this season while playing less than 15 minutes a night.

It's the fifth time this season the Canucks have made Kuzmenko a healthy scratch, who has fallen a long way from his 39-goal season a year ago. He has eight goals and 11 assists in 32 games this season.

After being a healthy scratch at the end of November, Kuzmenko played 10 consecutive games but will again be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. In those 10 games, Kuzmenko has three points (3G / 0A) and is averaging only 13:53 time-on-ice, a significant drop from the 15:24 he was averaging in the 19 games leading up to then.
