Justin Kirkland will miss the remainder of the NHL season after undergoing surgery to repair an anterior cruciate ligament, the team announced Wednesday.
Kirkland was injured in Calgary’s 5-2 loss at Columbus on Friday.
He left the game in the first period after logging 1:05 of ice time.
Kirkland had two goals and six assists in 21 games this season.
He is the second Flame to sustain a season-ending ACL injury after forward Anthony Mantha three weeks ago.
The Flames host St. Louis on Thursday.
