Flames Recall William Stromgren for First NHL Call-Up

The 22-year-old earned the promotion on the strength of a sustained AHL scoring run.

Overview

  • Calgary announced the recall Monday ahead of its home game against the Seattle Kraken, with Stromgren expected to be a healthy scratch for that matchup, per Postmedia.
  • Stromgren has 6 goals and 29 points in 33 games for the AHL Wranglers, leading the team with 23 assists while skating on the top line.
  • His recent surge includes nine points over a six-game stretch since the holiday break, which helped prompt the move.
  • No corresponding transaction was required because the Flames had an open roster spot, bringing the active list to 23 players that includes suspended forward John Beecher.
  • A 2021 second-round pick, the left-shot winger from Ornskoldsvik, Sweden is in the third year of his entry-level contract after developing in Sweden and appearing at the 2023 World Juniors.
