Kerins scored twice and added an assist in AHL Calgary's 5-4 overtime win over Coachella Valley on Sunday.
He got a brief stint in the NHL as a reward for his strong start to the year, but Kerins was bumped back to the minors when the Flames claimed John Beecher. That hasn't discouraged Kerins, who has five points over three games since he returned to the Wranglers. The forward is at seven goals, 19 points, 40 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 16 AHL appearances. He should be an option for call-ups later in the year if the Flames need to replenish their depth.

Flames' Rory Kerins: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
Kerins was demoted to AHL Calgary on Monday.
Kerins saw action in two games while up with the Flames, failing to register a point while notching one hit, one shot and a minus-1 rating. Sam Morton was recalled in a corresponding move and could replace Kerins in the lineup against Chicago on Tuesday. This likely won't be Kerins' last stint in the NHL this year, but it's unlikely he makes enough of an impact to help fantasy managers.

Rotowire
Kerins scored twice in AHL Calgary's 5-4 overtime loss to Tucson on Saturday.
Kerins has started the season with four points over three contests for the Wranglers. The Flames are struggling to score at the NHL level, and if Kerins keeps up his hot start, he could be in line for a call-up to replace an unproductive forward. The 23-year-old had 61 points in 63 regular-season AHL outings last year while adding four assists in five NHL appearances.

Flames' Rory Kerins: Waived by Calgary
Rotowire
Kerins was placed on waivers by the Flames on Thursday.
Kerins made his NHL debut last year, but he'll begin the 2025-26 regular season in the minors if he clears waivers. However, he was a strong contributor for AHL Calgary last year, so he should be in the mix to be called up if the Flames need additional forward depth at any point.

Flames' Rory Kerins: Signs one-year contract
Rotowire
Kerins penned a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Thursday.
Kerins led the AHL Wranglers in scoring last year during the regular season, potting 33 goals and adding 28 assists across 63 games. He made his NHL debut with the Flames last season, generating four assists in five games. Kerins is a bubble player at this time, but a strong training camp could garner him a job as a third-line winger.
