Ramo will start on Saturday.

Ramo made 26 saves on 27 shots in the Flames win over the Flyers on Thursday. After allowing nine goals in his pervious two starts the Philadelphia offence was just what the doctor ordered for Ramo. However, he draws a tough matchup tonight with the Penguins in town. Their offence isn’t scoring as it should, but they’re still dangerous.

Ramo will start Thursday vs. the Flyers.

Ramo allowed five goals on 41 shots in the Flames 6-3 loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday.

It still wasn’t a pretty performance, but it was enough to earn his first win of the season and a second straight start.

Ramo gets the call on Saturday vs. the Oilers.

Ramo went 0-3-0 with a 4.38 GAA and .879 SV% in three starts with the Flames before being placed on waivers and sent to Stockton (AHL). In Stockton, he only played one period, stopping all six shots he faced. With Jonas Hiller getting injured earlier in the week, Ramo is back with the Flames and will look to right the ship tonight in Edmonton.

The Flames have recalled Karri Ramo from Stockton (AHL).

Jonas Hiller left Wednesday’s game with a lower-body injury, so Ramo’s recall suggests that Hiller likely won’t be ready to go on Friday vs. Montreal. Look for Joni Ortio to get the start with Ramo serving as his backup.

Ramo has cleared waivers and been assigned to Stockton (AHL).

Ramo posted a 4.38 GAA and .879 SV% in his first three starts of the season, clearly not the numbers the Flames were expecting when they signed him to a one-year, $3.8M contract this July. Ramo likely went unclaimed because of his high price tag, so he heads to the AHL. Jon Gillies has had a great start with Stockton, so Ramo could end up going from opening night starter to AHL backup.

The Flames have placed goaltender Karri Ramo on waivers.

Ramo was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots last night and has posted a 4.38 GAA and .879 SV% in three starts this season. The Flames opening night starter has been placed on waivers and will either be claimed by another team or be sent to Stockton (AHL). The Flames were already carrying three goalies, so with Ramo now out of the picture they will turn to the duo of Jonas Hiller and Joni Ortio.
