Englund was placed on waivers by the Flames on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Calgary.
Englund joined the Flames on a one-year, two-way contract during the offseason and will begin the regular season with the team's AHL affiliate, assuming he clears waivers. The 30-year-old has a decent amount of experience at the NHL level, but he spent most of last year in the minors, where he recorded three goals, 10 assists and 65 PIM across 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Milwaukee.
