Habs Call Up MacDonald
MacDonald was recalled from AHL Hamilton on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.The Canadiens will more than likely rest Carey Price during practices throughout the playoffs, so MacDonald's recall gives the team two goalies to work with during those sessions, with backup netminder Dustin Tokarski representing the other. MacDonald is a clear No. 3 on the organizational depth chart and won't have a shot at appearing in the postseason unless Price or Tokarski sustains an injury at some point.

Flames' MacDonald Wins In Shootout Friday
MacDonald stopped 22 of 25 shots in regulation, one in overtime and then another three in the shootout as the Flames beat the Stars 4-3 on Friday.MacDonald broke a three-game losing streak that dated back to November when he was seemingly exiled to the AHL after clearing waivers.
