Brodie will be a game-time decision on Monday.

Brodie skated on the top-pair with Mark Giordano at the Flames morning skate and head coach Bill Peters called him a game-time decision for Monday's game. Brodie has missed the last five games after collapsing at practice on November 14th, but all signs are pointing towards him returning to the lineup tonight.

Brodie joined the Flames on their road-trip and will start practicing with the team.

Brodie will miss his fifth straight game on Saturday but the fact that he is joining the team in Philadelphia is fantastic news. Brodie fainted on the ice last week and has undergone a large number of tests since. Being cleared to travel and join the team is a good sign that he is feeling much better.

Brodie is "doing well" but is out indefinitely.

Brodie collapsed on the ice during Thursday's practice and was rushed to the hospital. After undergoing a variety of tests, all of which came back negative, Brodie was released from the hospital. At this time, the Flames medical staff believe it was a "fainting episode" and nothing more serious. Brodie will continue to be evaluated and will undergo more tests, so there is no timetable for his return at this point.

Brodie (hand) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Brodie has missed the five nine games of the season with a broken hand, but now he is just over four weeks into a 3-6 week timetable and could return to the lineup tonight. Brodie started practicing on Sunday and was skating alongside Mark Giordano in the morning skate, which is a good sign that he will return. However, he has been officially labeled as a game-time decision so monitor his status during pre-game warmups, which start at 7:00 pm ET.

Brodie is expected to miss 3-6 weeks with a broken bone in his right hand.

This is a tough break for Brodie and the Flames to start the season. If he misses just three weeks, he would only miss the first week of the season, but there is a chance he could be sidelined until the first week of November. With Brodie out, the Flames will have to find someone to fill in—Tyler Wotherspoon and Jakub Nakladal are likely the front runners.
