Flames Place Justin Kirkland on Waivers for Second Time This Season

A $900,000 one-way contract lowers the odds of a claim ahead of Monday’s noon MT deadline.

Overview

  • Calgary placed the 29-year-old on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the AHL Wranglers, per local reporting.
  • He has one goal and two points in 20 NHL games this season, averaging 9:49 with nearly two minutes per game on the penalty kill.
  • He was a healthy scratch for Saturday’s 3-2 win over San Jose as Martin Pospisil returned to center the fourth line.
  • He participated in Sunday’s optional practice after sitting out the previous game.
  • He cleared waivers in November, and he has produced five goals and seven points in 14 AHL games this season.
