White was drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars and has spent the past three seasons in the AHL. The 23-year-old defenseman had five points (3G / 2A) in 23 games with Texas (AHL) this season.
Kirkland did not play in the Flames' previous game, and he has now been assigned to the Wranglers (AHL). The 29-year-old Kirkland averaged 9:49 time-on-ice and scored two points (1G / 1A) in 20 games with the Flames this season.
Parekh started the season in the NHL but struggled to acclimate before an injury sidelined him for a lengthy period. He was then sent to play for Team Canada at the U-20 World Junior Championship, where he excelled with 13 points (5G / 8A) in seven games. The talented 19-year-old defenseman carried that international momentum into a brief conditioning loan with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), where he scored five points (2G / 3A) in four games. He will return to the Flames' lineup on Monday for his first NHL action since November 7th.
Wolf was excellent in his previous outing, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks, and will look to build on his momentum on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. That said, the 24-year-old Wolf has struggled in recent weeks, posting an ugly 3.56 GAA and .882 SV% in his last nine games (2-6-1). The Flames enter Monday's contest as -101 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs team that snapped a six-game losing streak (0-5-1) on Saturday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks.
Despite losing his last two games (0-1-1), Cooley has played well, saving 65 of 69 combined shots (.942 SV%), continuing an impressive first season with the Flames. The 28-year-old American goalie has a tremendous 1.84 GAA and .943 SV% in his last five outings (3-1-1). That said, the Flames enter the action on Thursday as +161 road underdogs against a Minnesota Wild team that scored three or more goals in six consecutive games (4-1-1).

Pachal played 11:42 vs. the Capitals on Friday, but will come out of the lineup for the fifth time in the last six games. Hunter Brzustewicz will re-enter the lineup to replace Pachal on Sunday.
Brzustewicz was a healthy scratch vs. the Capitals on Friday, but will replace Brayden Pachal in the lineup on Sunday. Brzustewicz has picked up just one assist in 16 games with the Flames this season.
Lomberg has appeared in 47 of 51 games this season, but will be replaced by Justin Kirkland in the lineup on Sunday. Lomberg isn't known for his offence, but he's been goalless with three assists in his last 13 games.
Kirkland was a healthy scratch for Friday's game vs. Washington, but he will replace Ryan Lomberg on the fourth line on Sunday. Kirkland enters the lineup with two points (1G / 1A) in 18 games this season.
For the first time in four games, Hunter Brzustewicz finds himself a healthy scratch vs. Washington as Brayden Pachal rejoins Calgary's lineup. Brzustewicz is in his rookie season and has only one assist, 16 SOG and a -2 plus/minus through 16 games played this season.
Pachal has been a healthy scratch for Calgary's last four games but will draw back into their lineup for Hunter Brzustewicz on Friday vs. Washington. Pachal is in his third season with the Flames and is unfortunately on pace to post his lowest point totals since joining the team with three assists and 35 PIMs in 24 games played.
Despite Dustin Wolf occupying the starter's crease earlier during morning skate, Devin Cooley was the first goalie off the ice and will start vs. Washington on Friday. It is the 5th straight time that Cooley and Wolf have swapped starts as a trend seems to be appearing in the Flames' crease. The 28-year-old has earned his extended minutes, posting a ridiculous .922 SV% and 2.18 GAA to go alongside his 6-4-3 record. He will host the Washington Capitals on Friday, who are in the midst of a rare four game losing streak.
