Also you will have to forgive my ignorance and explain how there is 2 and not 1 roster spot available? 3g+6d+13f= 22 roster spots. I could be missing something though.

Because teams are limited to 4 call ups after the trade deadline, the Flames have been playing at the bare minimum of 12 forwards and 6 defensemen. The Flames have burned 2 call ups with Ortio and Nakladal. Any other player that's been called up has been on an emergency basis and has to be returned as soon as the Flames have a roster player healthy.
As for the roster spot issue, there currently is no limit to the amount of players the Flames can carry right now, so having 3 goalies has no effect on the amount of defense we have. The issue is flying a guy from Stockton to Montreal.
