Dennis Gilbert News

Gilbert suffered an upper-body after an awkward collision in Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators. The Flames have recalled defensive prospect Yan Kuznetsov in the interim as we await further evaluations for Gilbert.

Jordan Oesterle will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Gilbert to re-enter the lineup for the Flames on Thursday. The left-handed defenseman has played 15 games with the Flames this season, scoring two points (0G / 2A), averaging 12:48 time-on-ice.

Dennis Gilbert will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Ilya Solovyov to draw back into the lineup. In his most recent game, Gilbert played 11:31 time-on-ice, registered two hits, and suffered a -2 plus/minus rating in a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

Gilbert has been a healthy scratch for the Flames' previous two games but will draw back into the lineup Monday vs. Philadelphia. The 26-year-old has a goal, two assists, eight SOG, and 20 PIMs across 12 games played this season.

Gilbert was recalled Monday and reassigned Tuesday from the Flames back to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). The 26-year-old returns to the minors where he had two goals, three assists, 41 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 26 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) prior to his previous promotion.

Gilbert had two goals, three assists, 41 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 26 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) but earned his second call-up of the season Monday. The 26-year-old stay-at-home defenseman had previously had a nine-game stint with the Flames this season, where he had an assist and 20 PIMs during his short showing.

The Flames do not play again until after the All-Star break, so they sent a trio of young players, including Gilbert, back to the AHL.

Gilbert has not played since Dec. 18th due to an undisclosed injury but has been activated off the injured reserve Wednesday. The 26-year-old has one assist and 20 PIMs with five SOG through eight games this season prior to the injury.

Gilbert left the Flames' previous contest Sunday after just 3:51 TOI after a spirited fight led to him leaving the game due to an undisclosed injury. It is a tough bounce for the 26-year-old, who was playing in his first game since Nov. 25th and only has one assist and five SOG through eight games this season.

This will be Gilbert's second spell with the Flames after getting a short two-game showing earlier in the year where he picked up zero points and five PIMs. Through eight games with the Wranglers (AHL) he had yet to pick up a point but was a -2 plus/minus prior to his promotion.

Gilbert was hurt in a fight with Keegan Kolesar last Tuesday and will miss at least one month after undergoing surgery. Gilbert was moved to injured reserve.

Gilbert played 9:54 TOI in his season debut on Tuesday. Gilbert played because Ian Cole was traded for Greg Pateryn a few hours before the game. With Pateryn available on Thursday, Gilbert will be scratched.
