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 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.
