Justin Kirkland will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets, allowing Sharangovich to return from a two-game absence. After a breakout first season with the Flames in 2023-24, scoring 59 points (31G / 28A), the 27-year-old Sharangovich has had trouble reclaiming that scoring touch. He is averaging 14:38 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in six games this season.
