The imminent return of Deryk Engelland to the lineup caused the Flames to send Tyler Wotherspoon down to the Stockton Heat today. In 11 games this season the 23-year old has acquitted himself reasonably well, albeit in a limited, support type role. He only has a single assist in those games, but his underlying numbers are relatively good from a possession and scoring chance perspective.

Still with the team on an emergency basis is Freddie Hamilton.
