  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Done for season

    Kirkland underwent ACL surgery Wednesday and will miss the rest of the 2024-25 campaign.

    Kirkland, who sustained the injury Friday, will conclude the season with two goals, eight points, 11 PIM, nine shots, 45 hits and 16 blocks while averaging 9:42 of ice time across 21 outings. Jakob Pelletier, who was recalled from AHL Calgary on Monday and made his NHL season debut Tuesday, has an opportunity to secure a regular role on the fourth line due to Kirkland's absence.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Shifts to IR

    Kirkland (lower body) was put on injured reserve Monday.

    In corresponding moves, the Flames recalled Jakob Pelletier and Walker Duehr from AHL Calgary while assigning Adam Klapka to the minors. Kirkland sat out Saturday's 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh and won't be eligible to return until at least Dec. 8 against Dallas. However, the exact timeline for his return is unclear. He has two goals, six assists, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 45 hits across 21 outings this season.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Out of action Saturday

    Kirkland (lower body) won't play Saturday in Pittsburgh, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

    Kirkland was injured early in the first period after playing just two shifts, and did not return. He has been a good fourth-line winger, as he has two goals, six assists, 45 hits and 16 blocked shots in 21 contests. Adam Klapka will replace Kirkland in the lineup Saturday.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Exits game with lower-body injury

    Kirkland suffered a lower-body injury during Friday's tilt against Columbus and won't return to the game, per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun.

    Kirkland had two goals, eight points and 44 hits in 20 appearances going into Friday's action. If he can't play Saturday in Pittsburgh, then Adam Klapka will likely draw into the lineup.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Nabs helper Saturday

    Kirkland provided an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.

    Kirkland also had one of the Flames' two shootout tallies. The 28-year-old fourth-liner has three points over his last eight appearances while holding down a steady spot in the lineup. He's at two goals, eight assists, nine shots on net, 41 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 18 outings overall. Kirkland has limited fantasy value outside of deep banger leagues, but he's played well enough to be a key part of the Flames' on-ice success.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Finds twine in loss

    Kirkland scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

    Kirkland opened the scoring late in the first period, but that was all the Flames could put past Kevin Lankinen. The 28-year-old Kirkland has two points, three shots on net, 14 hits and nine PIM through five outings in November. He's at seven points, six shots on net, 38 hits, 13 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 14 contests this season, playing primarily in a fourth-line role.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Snags assist Thursday

    Kirkland logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

    Kirkland may get more steady playing time while Anthony Mantha (lower body) is on injured reserve. The 28-year-old Kirkland was scratched twice to start November, but it looks like he's got some job security, as he would require waivers to be reassigned to AHL Calgary. He's produced six points, four shots on net, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 11 outings this season.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Generates helper Wednesday

    Kirkland produced an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Utah.

    Kirkland has three helpers over his last five games. The 28-year-old centered the fourth line Wednesday after a brief foray into the middle six last week. He's now at five points, three shots on net, 24 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over nine contests this season.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Sling assist in shootout win

    Kirkland logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

    Kirkland's helper set up the opening tally by Rasmus Andersson. In the shootout, Kirkland scored the decisive goal in the sixth round. The 28-year-old saw a season-high 14:28 of ice time and has earned three points, two shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through five appearances. While he's not a must-have fantasy player, Kirkland is doing a lot to keep his place in the lineup even once Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) and Yegor Sharangovich (lower body) are ready to return.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Grabs helper in win

    Kirkland produced an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Kirkland has two points, eight hits, three blocks and a plus-3 rating over his three NHL appearances this season. The 28-year-old is strengthening his grip on the fourth-line center spot that was occupied by Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) prior to his injury in the season opener. Kirkland's role is still too limited to be useful in fantasy, but he's been a positive story on the ice after an arduous journey to competing for a full-time NHL job.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Scores first NHL goal

    Kirkland scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

    The 28-year-old forward has taken a long path to the NHL, entering this season with just nine games of prior experience. Kirkland finally signed his name on a scoresheet with a third-period tally Sunday, earning the first goal and point of his career. He didn't make the Flames' Opening Night roster but joined the team after Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) landed on injured reserve. Kirkland will likely be limited to a fourth-line role as long as he's in the NHL, with his biggest contribution coming in hits -- he has seven through two appearances.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Called up from minors

    Kirkland was recalled from AHL Calgary on Friday.

    Kirkland saw action in just two NHL games with Arizona last year, recording one shot and five hits while averaging 7:14 of ice time. The move comes as Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve. With Matthew Coronato likely ahead of Kirkland on the organizational depth chart, Kirkland figures to remain a healthy scratch versus the Flyers on Saturday.

  • Coyotes' Justin Kirkland: Sent down Saturday

    Kirkland was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday.

    Kirkland was once again a healthy scratch Saturday versus the Hurricanes. The 27-year-old may not be shuttled between the NHL and AHL if Adam Ruzicka, who was claimed on waivers from Calgary earlier in the week, can get his immigration paperwork settled prior to the Coyotes' next game Feb. 8 versus the Golden Knights.

  • Coyotes' Justin Kirkland: Up from AHL

    Kirkland was called up from AHL Tucson on Friday.

    Kirkland was summoned from Tucson on Sunday and sent to the minors Thursday, so he's been frequently shifting between the two levels. He has no points, one shot, five hits and a block in two contests with Arizona this season. He also has supplied two goals and 16 points in 18 appearances with Tucson.

  • Coyotes' Justin Kirkland: Returns to minors

    Kirkland was sent to AHL Tucson on Thursday.

    Kirkland has no points, one shot, five hits and a block in two games with Arizona this season. He's also recorded two goals and 16 points in 18 outings with Tucson. Arizona needed to clear a roster spot for Adam Ruzicka, who was claimed off waivers from Calgary, leading to Kirkland's demotion.
