  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Sling assist in shootout win

    Kirkland logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

    Kirkland's helper set up the opening tally by Rasmus Andersson. In the shootout, Kirkland scored the decisive goal in the sixth round. The 28-year-old saw a season-high 14:28 of ice time and has earned three points, two shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through five appearances. While he's not a must-have fantasy player, Kirkland is doing a lot to keep his place in the lineup even once Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) and Yegor Sharangovich (lower body) are ready to return.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Grabs helper in win

    Kirkland produced an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Kirkland has two points, eight hits, three blocks and a plus-3 rating over his three NHL appearances this season. The 28-year-old is strengthening his grip on the fourth-line center spot that was occupied by Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) prior to his injury in the season opener. Kirkland's role is still too limited to be useful in fantasy, but he's been a positive story on the ice after an arduous journey to competing for a full-time NHL job.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Scores first NHL goal

    Kirkland scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

    The 28-year-old forward has taken a long path to the NHL, entering this season with just nine games of prior experience. Kirkland finally signed his name on a scoresheet with a third-period tally Sunday, earning the first goal and point of his career. He didn't make the Flames' Opening Night roster but joined the team after Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) landed on injured reserve. Kirkland will likely be limited to a fourth-line role as long as he's in the NHL, with his biggest contribution coming in hits -- he has seven through two appearances.

  • Flames' Justin Kirkland: Called up from minors

    Kirkland was recalled from AHL Calgary on Friday.

    Kirkland saw action in just two NHL games with Arizona last year, recording one shot and five hits while averaging 7:14 of ice time. The move comes as Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve. With Matthew Coronato likely ahead of Kirkland on the organizational depth chart, Kirkland figures to remain a healthy scratch versus the Flyers on Saturday.

  • Coyotes' Justin Kirkland: Joining NHL roster

    Kirkland will be recalled from AHL Tucson on Friday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

    Kirkland will link up with Arizona due to the continued absence of Jason Zucker (suspension). For their last game, the Coyotes opted to go with seven defensemen, so Kirkland is far from a lock to play even while up with the big club.
