Gilbert was called up from AHL Calgary on Thursday.
Gilbert has only one point in eight games this season and has just one NHL goal in 33 career contests. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of the defenseman in terms of offensive production if he does get into action versus Chicago on Thursday.

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.
