What Happened
The Calgary Flames announced Monday that winger Samuel Honzek is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Honzek, 21, has appeared in four games this season, recording a minus-4 rating. The injury interrupts his early-season progress after he missed most of the previous campaign, when he played just 18 games for Calgary.
