Jakub Nakladal Out Against the Sharks

Calgary defenceman Jakub Nakladal is out as a precaution tonight for the Flames. The first year NHL player took two high sticks to the eye on one play in Saturday’s 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tyler Wotherspoon has been recalled and will take Nakladal’s place in the lineup.

#Flames Jakub Nakladal is out, Tyler Wotherspoon is up and in, Mark Giordano and TJ Brodie will continue to play on separate pairings.
