In a move that may mean something or may merely be a depth shuffle, the Calgary Flames announced via press release that they have recalled defenseman Jakub Nakladal from the AHL's Stockton Heat. He takes the roster spot of young Brett Kulak, who was returned to the Heat in a corresponding move.
Nakaldal is 27, from the Czech Republic and a right-handed shot. He's also been very good for Stockton in both games he's played in, putting up three assists. He probably would've made the NHL team out of camp had he not gotten his bell rung in a pre-season game in Denver.
