Pospisil (upper body) is considered week-to-week after leaving Thursday's game early.

Pospisil played only 3:46 of time-on-ice in Thursday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs before leaving with an upper-body injury. Pospisil was providing reliable depth scoring for the Flames, tallying four points (0G / 4A) in his last seven games and will create a void in the Flames lineup for the next several weeks.

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).

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.

The 20-year-old Othmann was the 16th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and has been reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL, where he has 23 points (9G / 14A) in 28 games.
