With the waiver process complete, the Calgary Flames have made a roster swap. The Flames have sent backup goaltender Eddie Lack to the Stockton Heat of the American Hockey League and summoned Stockton’s backup, David Rittich, to be Mike Smith’s caddy for the foreseeable future. The move will save the Flames approximately $300,000 in cap space even when factoring in the $350,000 that Lack will cost them against their NHL cap while he’s in the AHL.
Postmedia’s Wes Gilbertson, traveling with the team, had the scoop first.
