Mangameslost.com has the Flames at 105 man games lost in total. Only the New York Rangers were healthier.

That doesn’t count the 82 games Kylington lost.
Last year going into the season we thought we had replaced:
Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Gudbransen with Huberdeau, Kadri Weegar. A big part of the roster upgrade was on the blueline replacing a bottom pair guy in Gudbransen for a top pair guy in Weegar.
What we had was
Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Kylington, Gudbransen for Huberdeau, Kadri, Weegar, Stone
While Weegar is by far the best D in that group Stone was easily the worst so the D is more of a wash. Kylington being gone is the equivalent of 82 man games lost where do the Flames rank in injuries when that is factored in? Seems to be difficult to find an accurate list when searching online.
