CALGARY – The Calgary Flames recalled center Justin Kirkland from their American Hockey League affiliate the Wranglers on Friday.

Kirkland, 28, signed a one-year, two-way free agent contract with Calgary in July for his second stint in the Flames organization. He also signed with Calgary in 2019.

The Winnipeg native played in two games with the Arizona Coyotes last season.

He also played 43 games for the AHL affiliate Tucson Roadrunners, where he scored 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists).

The 6-foot-3, 194-pound forward was selected in the third round of the draft (62nd overall) by the Nashville Predators in 2014.

Kirkland played seven games for the Anaheim Ducks in the 2022-2023 season.
