Petrovic was reassigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic has yet to make his Flames debut since joining the taxi squad on March 17. He's unlikely to displace top prospect Juuso Valimaki for playing time on the third pairing.

Petrovic was added to the active roster Monday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic was a healthy scratch for Monday's game against Ottawa. The 29-year-old blueliner likely won't see any NHL action unless he's an injury replacement.

Petrovic was reassigned to the taxi squad Sunday, according to CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic has racked up 12 points in 11 AHL games but hasn't suited up for Calgary this season. The 29-year-old blueliner last appeared in the NHL during the 2018-19 season.

Petrovic was promoted to the active roster Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic joined the taxi squad Wednesday, and now he's eligible to play in Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs. If Petrovic does enter the lineup, Nikita Nesterov or Juuso Valimaki would be the most likely candidates to exit. Petrovic hasn't played an NHL game since the 2018-19 campaign.

Petrovic was promoted to the taxi squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic has notched two goals and 12 points in 11 outings with AHL Stockton. It's unclear if he'll be in the mix for NHL ice time while with the taxi squad. In a corresponding move, Michael Stone was assigned to the Heat.

Petrovic was placed on waivers Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic needs to pass through waivers whether he's assigned to AHL Stockton or ultimately remains with the parent club on the taxi squad. With Nikita Nesterov, Oliver Kylington and Michael Stone all in the mix for the No. 6 spot on the Flames' defensive depth chart, Petrovic is unlikely to find many minutes even if he hangs around in Calgary. It's more likely the 28-year-old blueliner spends the bulk of 2020-21 in the minors.

Petrovic signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic has 263 NHL games under his belt but played exclusively in the AHL last season, posting 20 points over 54 games. The 28-year-old should have an opportunity to play with the big club in Calgary, but his path to a roster spot will be a bit tougher if T.J. Brodie re-signs with the club.

Petrovic leads all AHL Providence defenders with 17 points in 23 games.
EDGE Analysis
After securing a one-year contract off a professional tryout agreement with Boston, Petrovic has been in the AHL since the start of the season. Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, Boston is overflowing with NHL-ready defensemen. Petrovic is unlikely to see time in the NHL this season but may be able to translate his success into a contract extension for next year.

Boston signed Petrovic to a one-year, two-way contract and then placed him on waivers Thursday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bruins obviously view Petrovic, who was attending their training camp on a professional tryout agreement, as a worthwhile depth piece, but don't currently consider him one of their top-seven defensemen. The 27-year-old will split time between the AHL and NHL in 2019-20.

Petrovic secured a professional tryout agreement with the Bruins on Sunday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petrovic saw action in 35 games last season for the Panthers and Oilers, in which he tallied two assists, 26 PIM and 47 shots while averaging 16:32 of ice time. The Boston blue line is already stacked, but the team still hasn't agreed to terms on new deals for restricted free agents Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo, so bringing Petrovic in on a PTO gives Boston an extra body for camp and potential cover in the event of a protracted holdout.
