Vladar will start Tuesday vs. the Coyotes.

The Flames have recalled Dustin Wolf as Jacob Markstrom is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, but they will turn to Vladar on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes. The Flames are -148 home favourites against a Coyotes club they defeated 6-2 less than a week away with Markstrom between the pipes. Vladar will make his first start since January 7th, a 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks when he allowed four goals on 20 shots (.800 SV%).

The Flames have recalled Dustin Wolf from Calgary (AHL).

Jacob Markstrom is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, prompting the Flames to recall Dustin Wolf. Wolf had a brief stint with the Flames earlier this season when Markstrom was injured, posting a 3.46 GAA and .893 SV% in five games (1-2-1).

Kirkland has been reassigned to the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL).

Kirkland has spent most of his eight-year professional career in the AHL, making his NHL debut last season with the Anaheim Ducks, being held without a point in seven contests. Kirkland has 13 points (1G / 12A) this season in 12 games with the Tuscon Roadrunners (AHL).

Rooney has cleared waivers Tuesday and has been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL).

Rooney had an assist, 14 SOG, seven PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 17 games played with Calgary in 2022-23 but has been forced to miss all of the 2023-24 season thus far as he remains out of the lineup from off-season shoulder surgery.

Kuznetsov will make his NHL debut Tuesday vs. Ottawa.

Kuznetsov was recalled last week but could not crack the Flames roster and immediately returned to the Wranglers (AHL), where he has seven points (2G / 5A) in 31 games this season. That said, the Flames defensive prospect will make his NHL debut at home on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators.

Frost will rejoin the Flyers' lineup Saturday vs. Calgary after being a healthy scratch last game.

After recording only one assist in his last four games, Frost was the odd man out of the Flyers' lineup on Thursday. The 24-year-old Frost is no stranger to being healthy scratched this season, as he has not dressed for 10 games so far already this season but still has five goals and 11 points in the 27 games he has played. He will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Calgary Flames.
