Calgary Flames left wing Micheal Ferland left Wednesday night's game against the San Jose Sharks with a lower body injury. In the immediate aftermath of the game, it was unclear what Ferland's status is going to be for the weekend back-to-back against New Jersey and Edmonton on Friday and Saturday nights.
Given that Troy Brouwer is roughly a week away from a return and that the Flames are carrying just one extra forward (Freddie Hamilton), any potential absence for Ferland over the weekend may lead the Flames to call up a forward from the American Hockey League's Stockton Heat.
