If my math is correct, with O'Brien down and Glencross and Cammalleri on IR, the Flames are at 22 players on the roster...
  1. Backlund
  2. Bouma
  3. Byron
  4. Cammalleri (IR)
  5. Colborne
  6. Galiardi
  7. Glencross (IR)
  8. Hudler
  9. B. Jones
  10. D. Jones
  11. McGrattan
  12. Monahan
  13. Stajan
  14. Stempniak
  15. Street
  16. Westgarth
  17. Brodie
  18. Butler
  19. Giordano
  20. Russell
  21. Smid
  22. Wideman
  23. Berra
  24. Ramo

Cammalleri was cleared for practice on Friday, and could be back for the game on Tuesday. Assuming everyone else is healthy, activating Cammalleri off of the IR would bring the roster to the 23 man maximum.

If they bring up a d-man from Abbotsford, they would have to send a forward down before they could re-activate Cammalleri. Everyone on the roster right now (except the goalies) requires waivers to be sent down. Byron, Street, and Jones will all likely clear if they're waived, but there is a chance someone might put in a claim and the Flames might not want to risk it (especially if Burke is working on a trade or two that would open up spots for them).


Both the Heat and Flames are at home this whole week, so a recall can be done in a few hours. Carrying seven d-men in Calgary isn't as important as it would be if one or both teams were on the road.

I would not be surprised to see them stick with the roster as it sits right now for at least the rest of the week (assuming Cammy returns and there are no further injuries or trades).
