Nov 24, 2023; Dallas, Texas, USA; Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom (25) during the game between the Dallas Stars and the Calgary Flames at the American Airlines Center. credits: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights due to the flu.
Because Markstrom was confirmed too sick to play after the 5 p.m. local deadline, the Flames signed emergency backup goaltender Dustin Nickel to an amateur tryout agreement to serve as backup to Dan Vladar.
If the team had made a decision before 5 p.m., top prospect goaltender Dustin Wolf could have been recalled from the AHL Calgary Wranglers.
Vladar made starts in consecutive games for the first time this season.
Markstrom, the Flames' No. 1 goalie, is 5-7-2 this season with a 2.93 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage.
