The Calgary Flames are getting forward Yegor Sharangovich back from injury.
The 26-year-old will return to the lineup on Saturday night against the Winnipeg Jets, slotting onto the first line alongside Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko. The Flames activated the 26-year-old off injured reserve earlier on Saturday.
Sharangovich was injured during the Flames' final pre-season game, on Oct. 5, while taking an awkward fall onto his right leg. Two days later, the Flames placed him on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, and he missed the team’s first seven games of the regular season as a result.
The Belarusian is entering his second year in Calgary. He recorded 31 goals and 28 assists for a total of 59 points in 82 games last season.
Sharangovich is expected to return to action against the Jets. Catch Calgary and Winnipeg facing off on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+, starting at 5 p.m. MT / 6 p.m. CT.
