Duehr was recalled by the Flames on Thursday.
Duehr was sent down Wednesday, but he'll rejoin the Flames a day later, as his move to the minors appears to have been for cap-saving purposes. Over four NHL appearances this season, he's recorded an assist, eight hits and three blocked shots while averaging 10:08 of ice time.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Slings assist Saturday
Rotowire
Duehr posted an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
Duehr snapped a five-game slump when he set up a Nazem Kadri tally in the first period. This was the sixth game in a row Duehr has been under 10 minutes of ice time -- while he's playing regularly, he takes too few shifts to make a real impact in most contests. He's at six points, 20 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-1 rating over 29 appearances this season.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Lends helper
Rotowire
Duehr notched an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
The helper was Duehr's first point since Nov. 4, though his chances to contribute were limited over much of the last three months. The Flames' forward depth has been depleted a bit lately, and that gives Duehr another chance to carve out a consistent fourth-line role. He's at five points, 15 shots on net and 36 hits through 23 outings this season after posting 11 points, 47 shots and 55 hits in 27 appearances a year ago.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Back in NHL
Rotowire
Duehr was recalled from AHL Calgary on Thursday.
Duehr was sent to the minors last week after passing through waivers. The forward has played 19 games with the Flames this season, scoring once and adding three helpers. The Flames needed an extra forward as Dillon Dube has left the team for personal reasons and Martin Pospisil was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury earlier in the week.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Opportunities limited
Rotowire
Duehr has played in just 10 of the Flames' 35 games since the start of November.
Duehr was a fourth-line fixture last season, but he's had trouble getting in the lineup at all after a slow start in 2023-24. The 26-year-old has four points, 12 shots on net and 25 hits through 19 appearances this season. He filled in for Jonathan Huberdeau (illness) in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes, but Duehr's best chance for consistent playing time going forward would likely come at the expense of Dillon Dube or A.J. Greer.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Garners assist in win
Rotowire
Duehr notched an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
Duehr fished out a loose puck that Philipp Grubauer failed to cover on A.J. Greer's breakaway shot. Mikael Backlund then followed up to convert the goal. Duehr snapped a four-game point drought and is up to one goal and three helpers through 11 outings as a fixture on the Flames' fourth line. The winger has added seven shots on net, 14 hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating, though his limited role precludes him from making much of an impact in fantasy.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Nets goal in win
Rotowire
Duehr scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Duehr's first-period marker put the Flames ahead 2-1. His line with Yegor Sharangovich and A.J. Greer was active and effective throughout the contest. Duehr won't challenge any scoring records, but he's up to two points, six hits, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-1 rating through four contests. Duehr will need to chip in on occasion to keep Dryden Hunt from taking his spot in the lineup.

Flames' Walker Duehr: Dishes helper Wednesday
Rotowire
Duehr notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Jets.
Duehr helped out on MacKenzie Weegar's first-period tally. Duehr broke into the NHL lineup over the second half of the 2022-23 campaign, picking up a solid 11 points, 47 shots on goal and 55 hits in 27 games. He's still limited to a fourth-line role, where he'll be in contention with Dryden Hunt and A.J. Greer for playing time. Duehr's limited offense with solid physical play likely won't get him on the map in fantasy.

Rotowire
Duehr scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
Duehr's first assist of the year was on the opening goal, as he found Milan Lucic open across the crease. In the third, Duehr made the most of a Chris Tanev pass, finishing with a top-shelf backhand shot. Duehr hadn't played in the NHL since Jan. 26, but an outing like this might lead to more time on the fourth line for him. He has three goals, one helper, 16 shots on net, 17 hits and an even plus-minus rating through nine appearances this season.
