The Calgary Flames returned to the practice ice on Wednesday and there were some developments regarding the team’s roster and the injury status of a pair of key players.
Gawdin sent back to Stockton
The Flames skated with 15 forwards. After practice, the odd man out was rookie Glenn Gawdin, who was re-assigned to the AHL’s Stockton Heat (leaving the Flames with 14 forwards).
Gawdin was in the NHL for two days, but it’s more valuable for him to be playing in the AHL rather than eating popcorn in the NHL.
Derek Ryan back practicing
After missing two games with an illness, Derek Ryan returned to the practice ice as one of the aforementioned 15 forwards.
