Flames Recall Rory Kerins for Final Two Games

The move uses Calgary’s last post‑deadline recall to limit any non‑emergency shuffling before the season ends.

Overview

Calgary, which announced the transaction Tuesday, burned its final standard recall by bringing up Rory Kerins from the AHL Wranglers, leaving only emergency moves available.
Kerins is available to dress against the Avalanche on Tuesday and for Thursday’s home finale against the Kings.
The 24‑year‑old left shot forward is a high‑end AHL scorer with 33 goals and 61 points last season and 22 goals and 54 points this season, totaling 72 goals and 77 assists in 182 AHL games.
He has seven NHL games over the past two seasons, including four assists in his first five last year, while evaluators point to defensive gaps and a likely NHL fit on the wing where Calgary has more depth.
Kerins is a pending restricted free agent who cleared waivers earlier this season, and his June qualifying offer would be a two‑way deal at a $813,750 cap hit that this brief audition could influence.
