Klapka (undisclosed) was assigned to AHL Calgary on Thursday.
Klapka sustained an undisclosed injury during the Flames' regular-season finale last week, but his assignment to the AHL suggests that he's moved past the issue. Over 31 appearances in the NHL this year, he logged six goals, four assists, 108 hits and 29 PIM while averaging 9:39 of ice time. He'll be available for the Wranglers in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Rotowire
Klapka scored a goal on four shots, doled out six hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

For the season, he's at six goals, nine points, 44 shots on net, 106 hits, 29 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 30 appearances.

Flames' Adam Klapka: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Klapka scored a goal, dished an assist, added four hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Klapka set up a MacKenzie Weegar goal in the first period, then tallied one of his own just a few minutes later to put the Flames ahead 2-1. The 24-year-old Klapka is seeing a larger even-strength role while skating alongside the Flames' top forward duo in Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau. Over his last eight outings, Klapka has three goals and three assists, in addition to 17 shots on net and 31 hits. He's a big-bodied winger who can create space for linemates, but his scoring is still a work in progress. Klapka has five goals, three helpers, 40 shots, 100 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 29 outings in 2024-25.

Flames' Adam Klapka: Lights the lamp Monday
Rotowire
Klapka netted a goal, tallied three shots on net and dished out six hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Klapka's goal was the first of the game for Calgary, which started the Flames' comeback after they went scoreless in the first two periods. Overall, the 24-year-old winger is up to four goals, six points and 91 hits in 26 appearances this season. While Klapka has spent most of the campaign in the AHL, he's been with the Flames throughout February and March. He's become a factor offensively down the stretch with five points in his last eight games, though he's still serving in a bottom-six capacity, which limits his offensive opportunities. However, Klapka does have some fantasy value in banger leagues, as he's averaging 3.5 hits per game this season.

Flames' Adam Klapka: Delivers helper in win
Rotowire
Klapka notched an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Klapka has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. That's strong work for a player that's been under 10 minutes of ice time in five of those contests. For the season, the 24-year-old is at five points, 31 shots on net, 81 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 24 appearances. Klapka is likely to finish 2024-25 in a fourth-line role, so he's not a great option for most fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Klapka inked a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Monday.
Klapka played in six NHL games for the Flames last year in which he generated one goal, four shots on net and 21 hits while averaging just 6:46 of ice time. In the minors, the 23-year-old was significantly more productive with 21 goals and 25 helpers in 65 regular-season tilts with the Wranglers.
