Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan, Zary practiced with the Flames on Monday, suggesting he's been recalled by the team.
EDGE Analysis
Zary skated on the second line with Nazem Kadri and Yegor Sharangovich during Monday's session. Zary's picked up two points through two NHL appearances this year. He was sent down to AHL Calgary in what appears to have been a paper move Sunday.

Zary was reassigned to AHL Calgary on Sunday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Zary has two points in his first two NHL games, including a goal in his debut against Dallas on Nov. 1. The 22-year-old will likely be back with the big club for Tuesday's game against Nashville.

Zary logged a power-play assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Zary helped out on Noah Hanifin's goal late in the second period. The helper was Zary's first at the NHL level, and he's added a goal over his first two games with the Flames. The winger also has six shots on net, two hits and an even plus-minus rating. If he can stick on the second line and build chemistry with Nazem Kadri, Zary may have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Zary scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Making his NHL debut, Zary didn't wait long to make an impact, scoring 5:28 into the game. His six shots tied for second on the team in Wednesday's game, and he also saw 16:11 of ice time, including 3:09 on the power play. The 22-year-old was on the second line with Nazem Kadri and Yegor Sharangovich, though linemates will likely change frequently with the Flames struggling. Zary was selected in the first round in 2020, and if he can continue to take lots of shots and influence play, he should have a good chance to stick in the lineup.

Zary (ankle) will make his season debut for AHL Stockton on Wednesday, Ryan Pinder of Sportsnet 960 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zary started the year on non-roster injured reserve for the Flames after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. Once the 20-year-old center gets a few games under his belt in the minors, he should at least be on the shortlist of potential call-ups during the 2021-22 campaign.

Zary (ankle) is on non-roster injured reserve to begin the season, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Zary isn't expected to be ready to play until November. When the 20-year-old is able to return, he's expected to report to his junior club.

Zary (ankle) is now week-to-week after suffering a broken ankle in Monday's rookie game versus Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Zary won't need surgery on his ankle, but this news essentially rules him out for most, if not all, of training camp. The first-round pick from 2020 doesn't have an official timeline yet, but similar injuries tend to require around six weeks to heal, so he'll likely end up missing some regular-season action as well.

Zary (undisclosed) left Monday's game against Edmonton and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Zary left in pain after appearing to block a shot off his foot or ankle but it's unclear what the initial diagnosis is. The 19-year-old forward scored three goals and seven points in nine AHL games last season.

Zary secured a three-year, entry-level contract with Calgary on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Zary racked up an impressive 38 goals and 48 helpers in 57 games for WHL Kamloops last year which saw the Flames snagging him with the 24th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. Given the uncertainty surrounding the WHL season, the 19-year-old center could get an extended look during training camp but will probably wind up back in AHL or juniors.
