Zary (knee) underwent an initial assessment that offered encouraging results, but he'll require further testing and imaging to determine the extent of his injury, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Zary sustained a left knee injury during Thursday's game against the Stars and appeared to be in considerable pain, so it's encouraging that he appeared to get at least some good news in the immediate aftermath. However, he also dealt with a left knee injury earlier in the season that forced him to miss 15 games, so his availability for the final three weeks of the regular season isn't yet clear. If Zary misses additional time, Yegor Sharangovich will likely draw into the lineup.

Zary suffered an apparent knee injury Thursday versus the Stars, and there was no update on his status following the game, Logan Gordon of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zary collided with Mikko Rantanen in the third period and was in agony on the ice. The injury was on Zary's left knee, which is the same one he hurt earlier in the campaign, leading to a 15-game absence. If the injury is as bad as it appeared this time around, he is likely to be shut down for at least the rest of the regular season. Yegor Sharangovich would likely return to the lineup in that case.

Zary scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Zary's goal at 6:50 of the third period was the first of four tallies in the frame for the Flames as they pulled off a comeback win. The 23-year-old also led all Calgary forwards with 21:57 of ice time. Zary has a goal and an assist, as well as nine shots, over two contests following a two-game suspension. He's at 13 goals, 26 points, 105 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 51 outings in 2024-25. Fantasy managers in need of a boost in points or shots should consider Zary for the final few weeks of the season.

Zary logged an assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Zary returned from a two-game suspension and was shuffled up to the first line amid some adjustments to the Flames' forward trios. It proved to be a productive spot, as Zary had the secondary helper on Nazem Kadri's game-tying goal midway through the first period. Zary was on the fourth line prior to his suspension, but he often subbed in for shifts with other forwards during that time. The 23-year-old forward is at 12 goals, 13 assists, 100 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 50 appearances this season, which is enough production to help in deeper formats.

Zary has served his two-game suspension and will be available against the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Zary was struggling to produce offensively prior to his suspension, having generated points in just one of his previous nine outings. During that stretch, the winger recorded just 13 shots, four hits and four blocks, so he's also not providing much in the way of category coverage either.

Zary has been suspended for two games by the Department of Player Safety on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Zary will miss games against the Avalanche and Maple Leafs on Friday and Monday, respectively, while serving his suspension for elbowing Vancouver Elias Pettersson in Wednesday's contest. With Zary unavailable, Adam Klapka could slide into a fourth-line role, though the Flames may have to call up a player from the minors if Mikael Backlund (upper body) can't play either.

Zary will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Thursday for elbowing.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, Zary should be expected to miss at least one game due to suspension, though it could certainly be longer. With the winger set to at least be unavailable versus the Avalanche on Friday, Adam Klapka will likely jump into the lineup against Colorado in what would be just his 14th NHL game of the season.

Zary scored two goals in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old lit the lamp twice in less than two minutes during the first period as Calgary raced out to an early 3-0 lead. It was the first multi-goal performance of Zary's career, and the points were his first in six games since returning from a lower-body injury after the 4 Nations Face-Off break. On the season, he's produced 12 goals and 24 points over 46 appearances.
