Kylington scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

After missing all of 2022-23 and a good portion of this season, Kylington's return was a positive story for a Flames team that remains stuck in mediocrity. The defenseman earned eight points and added 42 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. Kylington, a pending unrestricted free agent, expressed his desire to sign with Calgary again, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reported Friday. The 26-year-old blueliner is likely to be a bottom-four blueliner regardless of if he stays or goes, but he could also factor in on the power play more once he gets a full training camp under his belt again.

Kylington recorded an assist, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Kylington has a helper in each of the last two games after going 10 contests without a point. The 26-year-old defenseman assisted on the first of Nazem Kadri's two goals in the third period. Kylington has seven points, 39 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-7 rating through 31 outings this season, playing mainly in a bottom-four role.

Kylington logged an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Kylington had gone 10 games without a point prior to assisting on Nazem Kadri's first-period tally. The 26-year-old Kylington has six points, 38 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 30 NHL outings this season. He's mainly played in a bottom-four role, though his ice time increased noticeably after the Flames overhauled their defense at the trade deadline, though it hasn't led him to generate more offense.

Kylington (upper body) will return to the lineup Thursday versus the Kings, Brendan Parker of Flames TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kylington will be back after a one-game absence. The 26-year-old will return to a bottom-four role on defense. He has gone nine games without a point entering Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kylington has two goals, five points, 10 PIM, 18 hits and 44 blocks in 26 games this season. If he can play against the Kings, it will likely be as part of the third pairing and might result in Brayden Pachal being a healthy scratch.

Kylington (upper body) won't suit up versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Kylington didn't practice Monday after being injured in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton.

Kylington has contributed two goals, five points, 34 shots on net and 44 blocked shots in 28 contests this campaign.

Kylington left Saturday's game versus the Oilers late in the third period, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kylington collided with teammate Nazem Kadri and got the worst of the run-in. There was no update on Kylington's status after the contest, so he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Sharks. The Flames are out of playoff contention, so even a mild injury at this stage of the season could be enough for the team to shut down Kylington for the remainder of the campaign.
