Flames Recall Adam Klapka

Adam Klapka has been added back to the Flames roster, per a team announcement .

Hes now been recalled from AHL Calgary for the fifth time this season and marks the first of the Flames four allotted post-deadline recalls.

Last week, Calgary reassigned the hulking 24-year-old on deadline day to make him eligible to suit up for the Wranglers in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

They waited a few days to bring him back to the NHL, but hes once again available to dress after spending most of the post-4 Nations schedule so far up with the big club.

Hes scored once in 13 NHL games this year, averaging 8:10 per game.

The 68 forward arrived in the Flames organization in 2022, when they signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Czechias Bili Tygri Liberec.

In addition to his 236-lb frame, hes proven an effective scorer in the minors as well.

He has 48-4997 in 158 games with the Wranglers over the past three years, including 14-1226 in 33 games this year with 50 PIMs and a minus-one rating.

The Flames now have 22 players on their active roster, including 13 forwards.

Klapka will likely be an extra forward for tonights huge game against the Canucks, their chief competitor for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, but is theoretically available to draw in.

Klapka, a pending restricted free agent, will need a new deal this summer and is eligible for salary arbitration.

If he re-signs and doesnt make the team out of camp in the fall, hell need to clear waivers on his way down to the AHL.
