Gridin was forced to miss Calgary's previous game due to an illness but will draw back into the lineup vs. Colorado on Tuesday. The 20-year-old future star has enjoyed a succesful rookie campaign with Calgary this season, with six goals, 19 points and 68 SOG in 35 games played.
Gridin returns from playing one game in the AHL with the Wranglers, and will draw back into the Flames' lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 20-year-old Gridin is averaging 14:18 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games with the Flames this season. Martin Pospisil will exit the lineup as a healthy scratch.
Gridin has been a regular for the Flames in recent weeks, but he will play at least one game with the Wranglers, ensuring he is an option for them in the AHL playoffs. The 20-year-old Gridin has seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games with the Flames this season.
Gridin has been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) in a move to help accommodate activating Jonathan Huberdeau (undisclosed) off of Injured Reserve. The 19-year-old Gridin made his NHL debut last week and has recorded one goal in four games with the Flames this season.
Gridin will take a seat on Wednesday as the Flames opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Justin Kirkland will draw into the lineup in his place.
