Following yesterday’s preseason game with the Arizona Coyotes, the Calgary Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan aimed to get the roster down to a single on-ice group. They haven’t gone quite that far, but they’ve assigned seven players to the minors and gotten their roster down to 40 players.
Who’s gone?
Assigned directly to the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat are goalie Tyler Parsons, defensemen Josh Healey and Oliver Kylington, and forwards Austin Carroll and Andrew Mangiapane. Blueliners Colby Robak and Adam Ollas-Mattsson were in camp on NHL try-outs, but were also sent to Stockton – Ollas-Mattsson has an AHL deal while Robak will be auditioning for a job.
