Joey MacDonald allowed three goals on 38 shots in Calgary's 3-1 loss at the hands of the Blackhawks on Friday.
It's hard to be taken seriously when your team's goaltender is MacDonald, but tonight was not a terrible outing. Look for MacDonald to serve as Calgary's backup next season or split the goaltending duties with one of the Flames' young netminders.

The Flames are simply playing out the string at this juncture so not much can be drawn from the result. Look for MacDonald to serve as Calgary's backup next season.

Joey MacDonald blocked 34 of 35 shots Sunday as the Flames surprised Minnesota with a 4-1 win.
Fresh off signing a new contract with the Flames, MacDonald was the star of the show on this night. Despite the strong outing he's not worth adding in fantasy leagues.

Joey MacDonald has inked a one-year, one-way contract with the Calgary Flames.
MacDonald will reportedly earn $925,000 in 2013-14. MacDonald provides the Flames with some insurance in case Miikka Kiprusoff decides to retire. If Kiprusoff does retire, then MacDonald will likely split the goaltending duties pretty evenly with one of Calgary's young netminders.

George Johnson of the Calgary Herald thinks that the Flames should re-sign goaltender Joey MacDonald.
MacDonald has been terrific since he was picked up off the waiver wire by the Flames on Feb. 11. He has played extremely well in place of Miikka Kiprusoff who is having a horrible season as MacDonald is 7-7-1 with a 2.91 GAA and a .900 save percentage, much better than Kipper's 6-13-1 record with a 3.61 GAA and a .872 save percentage. With Kiprusoff leaning towards retirement at the end of the season, MacDonald will give the Flames a veteran in net for the young and raw Flames in 2013-14.
