In advance of Saturday night’s game with the Vancouver Canucks, the Calgary Flames have made some roster moves. They have activated Derek Ryan and Oliver Kylington from the taxi squad.
Ryan’s activation was expected, as he skated between Milan Lucic and Dominik Simon on the fourth line on Saturday morning. Kylington’s was less expected, and suggests that a Flames defenseman is either unavailable or is a question mark for the game.
