Flames' Sharangovich (lower-body) on IR
Published
Calgary Flames forward Yegor Sharangovich has been placed on the injured reserve list and is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, the team announced Monday morning.
The 26-year-old was injured late in Calgary's preseason game against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. He appeared to suffer the injury on an awkward fall in the third period.
Flames head coach Ryan Huska did not have an update on the injured centre after the game.
TSN's Salim Valji notes that given Sharangovich's injury, 19-year-old Samuel Honzek will slide up and play with Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko.
Sharangovich had 31 goals and 28 assists for 59 points in 82 games last season, his first in Calgary since coming over in a trade last summer from the New Jersey Devils.
Honzek, the No. 16 overall pick in 2023, had 10 goals and 21 assists for 31 points in 33 games last season for the WHL's Vancouver Giants.
The Flames will open the 2024-25 season on Wednesday in Vancouver against the Canucks.
