The update from GM Brad Treliving on injured players Michael Stone and Juuso Valimaki: “not close”.
Says Stone is progressing, but emphasizes it’s a long way back.
Valimaki dealing with a high ankle sprain. Pinpoints later in January as a realistic return. #Flames

#Flames GM Brad Treliving on with us today. Quick injury updates on Michael Stone and Juuso Valimaki but both aren't close to returning at this time. Obviously with the blood clot, there's more grey area on Stone and a potential return to action.

Treliving on Valimaki: "He's dealing with a high-ankle sprain. It's not a good injury, it was a significant sprain. He's going to need some time yet, he's been progressing and doing all of his rehab. I would guess the third week of January might be a target." #Flames
