Calgary Flames News

The Flames recalled Rasmus Andersson from Stockton (AHL).

Andersson, 20, was a second round pick (No.53 overall) in 2015 and has earned his first NHL call-up. Andersson has recorded three goals and 19 assists (22 points) in 50 AHL games this season. He could make his NHL debut on Saturday with Dougie Hamilton and Michael Stone listed as questionable.

Stone (upper-body) is questionable for Saturday’s game in Winnipeg.

Stone and Dougie Hamilton are battling injuries on the Flames’ blueline and had coach Glen Gulutzan said he hopes one of them “will play tomorrow” and the other “will play soon.” There is no word which one is closer, but expect an update after the team’s morning skate on Saturday.

The Devils have recalled Blake Coleman from Albany (AHL).

Coleman, 25, was a third round pick in 2011 (No.75 overall) and has one assist in five games with the Devils this season. He has spent the majority of the year in Albany, where he has 18 goals and 16 assists (34 points) in 49 games. Coleman will replace P.A. Parenteau in the lineup on Monday.

The Flames have acquired Michael Stone from the Coyotes for a 2017 third round pick and a conditional 2018 fifth round pick.

Stone had his best offensive season of his career in 2015-16, but has struggled in 2016-17. Stone has just one goal and eight assists (nine points) in 45 games, but heads to Calgary where he will likely serve as their sixth defenseman. The Coyotes will retain 50 percent of Stone’s salary and the condition on the fifth round pick is based on whether or not the Flames re-sign Stone.

Huberdeau (Achilles) will make his season debut on Friday.

Huberdeau was hurt in a preseason game and missed the first 51 games of the season, but will make his season debut tonight versus the Ducks. Huberdeau’s injury really hurt the Panthers, but he returns with them just outside of the playoffs. Huberdeau had a break-out 2015-16 season, scoring 20 goals with 39 assists (59 points) in 76 games. Expect him to be re-united with Aleksander Barkov, who also returns tonight and Jaromir Jagr.

Stone (upper-body) will return to the Coyotes’ lineup on Saturday.

Stone has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Bruins. There’s no word on who will come out of the lineup to make room for Stone, but he has three assists in four games this season.

Michael Stone
The Coyotes have placed Michael Stone (upper-body) on IR.

Stone has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury and his movement to IR created a roster spot to recall Anthony DeAngelo from Tucson (AHL). Stone remains day-to-day and there is no word on how long he will be out.
