Gilbert left the Flames' previous contest Sunday after just 3:51 TOI after a spirited fight led to him leaving the game due to an undisclosed injury. It is a tough bounce for the 26-year-old, who was playing in his first game since Nov. 25th and only has one assist and five SOG through eight games this season.

Gilbert could dress as a seventh defenseman if Dylan Strome (concussion) can't play on Thursday but could be the extra defenseman during their two-game road-trip if Strome is good-to-go in Boston. The 23-year-old has no points in three NHL games this season and just two assists in 11 AHL games this season.

The Blackhawks have recalled Dennis Gilbert from Rockford (AHL).

This is Gilbert's second call-up of the season and this time he could stick around for a while. Connor Murphy was moved to LTIR on Wednesday, so Gilbert could become a main-stay in the Blackhawks lineup moving forward. He will have to battle Slater Koekkoek for that right and comes up with no points in three AHL games.
