Update to #Flames injury news Matt Stajan is week to week with ankle, could be working out soon once he gets out of boot.

Stajan has been relegated to the fourth line for most of the season and has no fantasy hockey value at the moment.

CALGARY, AB -- The Calgary Flames announced today that they have recalled forward Paul Byron from the Abbotsford Heat (AHL) as a result of Flames forward Matt Stajan having been placed on Injured Reserve due to an ankle sprain.

Stajan has no fantasy hockey value as a wounded and overpaid fourth line center.

Given how Brent Sutter has managed lines through the exhibition round, there's reason to think Matt Stajan is in a dogfight for his spot on the roster with guys like Roman Horak, Paul Byron and perhaps even Lance Bouma.

Stajan failed to impress last season, moving from the team's top line to the fourth. Last season, the playmaking pivot still managed six goals and 31 points, indicating he could have value offensively for a different team. Don't expect too much playing time for Stajan unless he outworks Mikael Backlund, Brendan Morrison and Olli Jokinen.
