The Calgary Flames have recalled forward Dryden Hunt from the Calgary Wranglers, it was announced Friday.
Hunt, a native of Cranbrook, B.C., has been a key part of the Wranglers this season, collecting 15 goals and 33 assists for 48 points in 48 games. Hunt has also appeared in one game with the Flames, going pointless in the process.
Having turned pro before the 2016-17 season, Hunt has appeared in 231 career NHL regular season games across parts of eight seasons with the Flames, Florida Panthers, Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers, Colorado Avalanche, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. In that span, he has scored 18 goals and added 33 assists for 51 points.
In his second full season with the Flames organization, Hunt has established himself as a reliable depth player. If an NHL regular goes down with an injury, Flames management knows they can rely on Hunt to come in and play his role well. As Hunt gets another recall, he will once again have the chance to show what he is capable of.
