Halfway through their road trip, the Calgary Flames have made a roster move. Goaltender Dan Vladar has been placed on the injury reserve list with what the team&#8217;s calling a &#8220;lower body injury,&#8221; and they&#8217;ve recalled Dustin Wolf from the American Hockey League&#8217;s Calgary Wranglers to join the team.

Vladar last played on Jan. 20 in a 3-1 loss to Edmonton. Presumably this lower body injury would have occurred at another time, but we don&#8217;t have any information yet as to the date the injury is retroactive to. Vladar dressed as Jacob Markstrom&#8217;s backup on Thursday in New Jersey.
Update: Per The Athletic&#8217;s Julian McKenzie, Ryan Huska disclosed that Vladar was hurt in warm-up against New Jersey.
Wolf is being called up for the fourth time this season, with the prior three being due to injuries suffered by Markstrom. In five appearances this season – four starts and one in relief – Wolf has gone 1-2-1 with a 3.46 goals against average and .893 save percentage. In 28 AHL outings, he&#8217;s 18-7-2 with a 2.27 goals against average, .927 save percentage and four shutouts. He recently appeared in the AHL All-Star Classic, leading the Pacific Division to victory.
The Flames have 23 players on their active roster: 2 goaltenders, 8 defencemen and 13 forwards. They have two players on the injury reserve (Vladar and A.J. Greer) and one non-roster player (Dillon Dube).
The Flames are back in action on Saturday for a matinee against the New York Islanders.
