Overview

  • Calgary announced the recall Monday, bringing Brzustewicz up for his second NHL stint after a one-game debut last season.
  • The Flames used an available roster slot for the move, so no corresponding transaction was needed.
  • He will be a healthy scratch against the Sabres on Monday, with his role to be determined afterward.
  • Brzustewicz has 4 goals and 12 points in 23 AHL games this fall after posting 32 points in 70 games as a rookie last season.
  • Drafted 75th overall by Vancouver in 2023 and acquired in the Elias Lindholm trade, he is viewed as an offensive option, with media suggesting bottom-pair duty or a look alongside MacKenzie Weegar.
