The most interesting man in hockey is back between the pipes.
Devin Cooley is set to make his return to the Calgary Flames' crease for Sunday's showdown against the Philadelphia Flyers (Sportsnet West, 7 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. ABT), the team announced after morning skate.
Cooley hasn't started for the Flames since a game against the Edmonton Oilers on Oct. 28. He exited that game in the first period with a lower-body injury and was placed on the injured list.
The 29-year-old was activated earlier this week, but Dustin Wolf got the nod for the Flames' last game against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
He had been red-hot before he went down injured, allowing just six goals on 133 shots over his previous four starts. On the season, Cooley has a 4-3-0 record with a 2.68 goals-against average and a career-best .914 save percentage.
In another move, the Flames recalled defenceman Brayden Pachal from the AHL Wranglers.
Pachal, 27, has yet to skate for the Flames this season, but has three assists in 11 games with the Wranglers.
The Estevan, Sask., native has six goals and 22 assists in 177 games over five seasons at the NHL level. He had a career-best three goals and nine assists in 76 games with the Flames last year.
Heading into Sunday's action, the Flames are fifth in the Pacific Division with a 7-9-1 record but have lost two straight.
