Flames’ Martin Pospisil to make NHL debut vs. Kraken

Calgary Flames head coach Ryan Huska discusses what skills newly promoted prospect Martin Pospisil will bring to the team, and why all messaging he delivered to demoted Matt Coronato was positive.

Martin Pospisil will make his National Hockey League debut with the Calgary Flames on Saturday night when the team faces the Seattle Kraken.

Flames head coach Ryan Huska confirmed ahead of the game that Pospisil will be in the lineup in Seattle.

Pospisil, 23, was called up by the Flames on Friday as Matt Coronato was sent down to the Calgary Wranglers of the American Hockey League.
