Gilbert hasn't played since the March 3 trade deadline.
Gilbert was surpassed by Troy Stecher on the depth chart in the deal that sent Connor Mackey and Brett Ritchie to Arizona. Despite the Flames' uneven performance over the last three weeks, Gilbert hasn't gotten a chance to play. He has four points, 41 hits, 27 PIM and 20 blocked shots through 18 contests and wouldn't see much more than a third-pairing assignment if he was able to get back in the lineup.

Rotowire
Gilbert logged an assist and five PIM in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Flyers.
Gilbert fought Nick Seeler after the Flyers' defenseman doled out a heavy hit early in the game. In the second period, Gilbert set up Mikael Backlund's tally. With Michael Stone (lower body) potentially out long-term, Gilbert could be a regular fill-in on the third pairing for a while -- if the Flames don't opt to add at the trade deadline.

Flames' Dennis Gilbert: Snags one-way deal
Rotowire
Gilbert signed a two-year, one-way contract with the Flames on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
The fact that Gilbert was able to land a one-way deal comes as a bit of a surprise, as the 25-year-old defender spent the entirety of the 2021-22 season in the minors, picking up 23 points through 52 appearances with AHL Colorado. The Flames are pretty shorthanded at defense, so Gilbert could earn at least a semi-regular NHL role in 2022-23.
