Flames Recall Morton and Hunt, Reassign Kerins to AHL

The moves prioritize NHL-ready minutes with Sam Honzek sidelined.

Overview

  • Calgary recalled Sam Morton and Dryden Hunt from the Wranglers and returned Rory Kerins to the AHL, setting a 23-man active roster.
  • Morton, 26, a left-shot centre signed in 2024, has 12 points in 16 AHL games and previously scored in his NHL debut.
  • Hunt, 29, a veteran of 235 NHL games, leads the Wranglers with 16 points in 15 games and is in line for his first NHL action of the season.
  • Head coach Ryan Huska said Kerins was fine in two NHL games but needs to improve speed and handling bigger defencemen.
  • The shuffle follows Honzek’s week-to-week upper-body injury, with Martin Pospisil and Zayne Parekh on injured reserve, and the Flames visit Chicago on Tuesday.
