Flames Assign Zayne Parekh to AHL on Conditioning Loan, Recall Matvei Gridin

The move uses a CHL rule allowing a brief AHL conditioning stint after five missed games.

Overview

  • Parekh can join the Wranglers for up to 14 days through Jan. 30, though Calgary can end the assignment early.
  • The 19-year-old qualified after sitting out five straight Flames games following the World Juniors with an upper-body issue.
  • While on the conditioning loan, Parekh remains on the Flames’ 23-man roster and continues to count against the salary cap.
  • Calgary also reassigned forward William Stromgren to the Wranglers as part of Saturday’s transactions.
  • Gridin, a 2024 first-round pick, was recalled after producing 10 goals and 28 points in 32 AHL games and earning an AHL All-Star selection.
