Pachal is averaging 14:31 time-on-ice, recording two points (1G / 1A), 27 penalty minutes, 34 blocks, and 72 hits in 31 games this season, earning himself a two-year contract extension. The 25-year-old defenseman has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 93 career NHL games.
Vladar has not played or practiced since allowing eight goals on 26 shots (.692 SV%) in an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last week. The Flames' crease has been exclusively occupied by Dustin Wolf the last week but Vladar appears to be nearing a return.
With Dan Vladar (lower body) day-to-day, the Flames have recalled Cooley from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). That said, if Vladar misses any time, Dustin Wolf will likely see all the action between the pipes for the Flames. The 27-year-old Cooley has a 1.80 GAA and .942 SV% in 18 games (14-3-0) with the Wranglers.
Adding insult to injury, Vladar is day-to-day with a lower-body injury just one day after allowing eight goals on 26 shots (.692 SV%) in an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. If Vladar misses any time, Dustin Wolf will likely take the reins of the crease in Calgary.

Lomberg has not played the last two games due to personal reasons but will likely draw back into the lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 30-year-old Lomberg is averaging 9:07 time-on-ice, recording three points (0G / 3A), 22 penalty minutes, and 49 hits in 27 games this season.
