The Calgary Flames made a couple of changes to their lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Islanders.
Defenceman MacKenzie Weegar was not able to play because of a lower-body injury. Brayden Pachal entered on the back end with Weegar out.
Forward Joel Farabee was also out due to illness, with Dryden Hunt coming into the lineup in his absence.
Calgary went on to win 4-3 in overtime.
Weegar, 31, has appeared in 68 games this season, recording seven goals and 41 points while averaging a career-high 23:53 of ice time.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported during the Saturday Headlines segment on Hockey Night in Canada that the Flames hope to get Weegar back on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken.
Farabee, 25, has 24 points (11 goals and 13 assists) in 68 games with the Flames and the Philadelphia Flyers, who traded him to Calgary back on Jan. 30.
Hunt, 29, has spent the majority of the 2024-25 season with the AHL's Calgary Wranglers, recording 48 points (15 goals and 33 assists) in 48 games.
In his three games with the Flames this season, he has one assist.
