Vladar (lower-body) returned to Calgary's practice on Monday.

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.

Cooley has been recalled from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) on an emergency basis.

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.

Vladar is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

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.
