Flames goaltender Markstrom returns from IR

NHL

Calgary Flames starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom was taken off the injured reserve list and returned to the active roster Sunday.

He had been sidelined since breaking a finger in practice Dec. 4.

In a corresponding move, the Flames returned goaltender Dustin Wolf and defenseman Ilya Solovyov to the Calgary Wranglers of the American Hockey League.

Before the injury, the 33-year-old Markstrom posted a 6-8-2 record with a 2.94 goals-against average and an .896 save percentage this season.

Wolf and Dan Vladar assumed the duties in goal during Markstrom’s absence, and the Flames were 2-3-2 during the stretch.

Markstrom is 198-181-57 with 18 shutouts, a 2.73 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 14 seasons with the Florida Panthers, Vancouver Canucks and Flames.
