Calgary Flames head coach Ryan Huska says that forward Kevin Rooney is 'day-to-day' but 'doing well' and is proud of his team, including forward Anthony Mantha, for standing up for each other against the Vancouver Canucks.

Calgary Flames forward Kevin Rooney has been labelled day-to-day, according to head coach Ryan Huska.

Huska added that the 31-year-old is "doing well" after exiting Wednesday's 6-5 OT win over the Vancouver Canucks.

Midway through the first period, Rooney was attempting to clear the puck from the Flames' defensive zone, but was hit by Canucks forward J.T. Miller, who sent him crashing into the side boards.

Rooney left the ice with assistance and was evaluated for concussion.

Rooney, 31, is playing in his third season for the Flames. In 33 games during the 2023-24 season, he scored three goals and four points in 11:13 of ice time.

Next up, the Flames host the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
