Calgary Flames Forward Martin Pospisil Returns
The Calgary Flames have confirmed that forward Martin Pospisil is back with the team after completing a short rehabilitation stint with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers. Pospisil, who initially joined the Wranglers on January 13, was addressing an injury that had kept him on the sidelines since the preseason, specifically after a collision in a game against the Vancouver Canucks. During his time in the AHL, he participated in two games to regain his form.
Significance of Pospisil’s Return
His reinstatement is a significant development not just for Pospisil but also for the Flames, as they strive towards a competitive season. This return comes with further excitement as Pospisil aims to don the Slovak national jersey at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, highlighting his recovery and readiness to compete.
Upcoming Game and Roster Changes
Fans might see Pospisil in action with the Flames as soon as Wednesday, when Calgary faces off against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Scotiabank Saddledome. To facilitate his return to the roster, the Flames have also decided to send Dryden Hunt back to the Wranglers, creating the necessary space for Pospisil’s comeback.
