Werner has signed a two-year contract with the SHL's Malmo Redhawks.
Werner spent the entirety of the 2021-22 campaign with AHL Stockton, so he's likely decided to head to his native Sweden to pursue a more lucrative opportunity. The 25-year-old netminder's North American playing days may have come to an end.

Flames' Adam Werner: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Werner was promoted from AHL Stockton on Tuesday.
Werner figures to serve as an emergency third goalie for the Flames but shouldn't be expected to play during the postseason. In his two NHL outings this year, the -year-old Werner registered a 1-1-0 record and 3.41 GAA. With both Jacob Markstrom and Dan Vladar signed through next season, Werner will be hard-pressed to see much in the way of NHL action in 2022-23.

Flames' Adam Werner: Heading down to AHL
Rotowire
Werner was reassigned to AHL Stockton on Sunday.
The Flames appear content to roll with Jacob Markstrom and Daniel Vladar between the pipes, necessitating Werner's demotion. The 24-year-old spent five games playing professionally in his native Sweden last season before posting a 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage with AHL Colorado, so he appears to have quite a road ahead to making an impact at the NHL level.

Rotowire
Werner will be between the pipes on the road versus Vancouver on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Werner heads into the season at best as the team's No. 3 option in the crease and, as such, shouldn't be expected to see much in the way of starts with Calgary. Without a place in the lineup, Werner will likely be a non-factor in fantasy contests this year.

Avalanche's Adam Werner: Backing up Grubauer
Rotowire
Werner becomes the top backup for Philipp Grubauer after Hunter Miska was added to the COVID-19 protocol.
Werner was added to the roster for Sunday's game against the Golden Knights, but Miska's status was uncertain at the time. The Avalanche were barely sold on Miska as the top backup, so Werner's status may not be long-term. Grubauer has held up well while appearing in 10 of 12 games, ranking second in save percentage and GAA, but the Avs will want to get a proven reliever behind him.
