Minor roster news at training camp, folks. Confirming the worst-kept secret in town, the Calgary Flames have officially added forward Brett Ritchie on a professional try-out contact.
#Flames Camp Update: Sam Bennett will not skate today (unfit to participate).
In addition, forward Justin Kirkland has been assigned to the @AHLHeat and forward Brett Ritchie has been signed to a PTO.

To make roster room, they’ve sent Justin Kirkland to Stockton’s AHL camp, expected to begin later this month.
