In the wake of Chris Tanev’s Monday exit to an injury on his non-surgically repaired shoulder and the announcement he’d miss some time, the team has retroactively placed him on Injured Reserve. The retroactive placement is official to the Monday of his injury, January 23rd.
To shore up bodies just in time, another Flame returns from Injured Reserve.
Per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun:
#Flames forward Brett Ritchie has been activated from injured reserve, a hint he will likely be in lineup tonight in Seattle.

Brett Ritchie exited the New Year’s Eve game against Vancouver with what appeared to be a wrist injury, and has missed a total of eleven games since.
