Kylington (upper body) left Thursday's game versus the Kings in the third period after going face-first into the boards, Hailey Salvian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington didn't return to the contest after the awkward fall, though there was no information on his status after the game. The 24-year-old has 27 points in 63 contests in a top-four role this season, so he would be tough to replace if he's forced to miss time. Michael Stone would likely enter the lineup if Kylington can't play Saturday versus the Blues.

Kylington scored a goal in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington capitalized on a crafty set-up by Johnny Gaudreau at 3:07 of the second period. This ended a six-game goal drought and four-game point skid for Kylington. The 24-year-old is up to 27 points, 121 shots on net, a plus-26 rating and 65 blocked shots in 62 outings this season.

Kylington logged an assist and fired three shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington was eased back into action, seeing just 15:11 of ice after missing the last two games with a lower-body injury. It may take him a few contests to get back up to speed, and the Flames won't need to pressure him too much. The 24-year-old has 26 points, 109 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating in a career year through 57 contests, though his scoring contributions have often come in bunches.

Kylington (lower body) will be in action versus the Devils on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the last two games due to his lower-body issue, Kylington will retake his spot on the blue line. After a strong start to the year, the 24-year-old Swede has been limited to just one point in his last 12 contests despite averaging 1:13 of ice time with the man advantage over the stretch. Still, Kylington has already set career highs in games (56), goals (seven), assists (18) and shots (106) and should continue to provide solid top-half fantasy value if he can break out of his current slump.

Kylington (lower body) will not play Sunday against Colorado, per the NHL's media site.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington will miss his second straight game Sunday. The 24-year-old blueliner is in the middle of a breakout year, tallying 25 points with a plus-26 rating through 56 games. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Devils.

Kylington (lower body) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames have enjoyed good health this season, with this being Kylington's first missed game since he was made a healthy scratch Oct. 18. With the 24-year-old out of the lineup, Nikita Zadorov will likely move up to the second pairing while Michael Stone will enter the lineup. Kylington could also be at risk of missing Sunday's game versus the Avalanche given the tight turnaround and travel for the second half of a back-to-back.

Kylington scored a goal on four shots and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't a banner night for Kylington or his defense partner Chris Tanev, but the former at least got a goal for his troubles. The tally ended Kylington's 10-game point drought. The 24-year-old defenseman has 25 points, 106 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating in 55 contests overall. His scoring contribution have often been in bunches this season, so fantasy managers will have to hope this sparks another surge.

Coach Daryl Sutter told reporters that Kylington (upper body) was "fine" following Saturday's win over Minnesota, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington appeared to suffer an upper-body injury when he awkwardly crashed into the boards in the third period of Saturday's contest, but it evidently looked worse than it actually was. He should be good to go for Tuesday's rematch with the Wild.

Kylington (upper body) left Saturday's game versus the Wild after a hard fall into the boards in the third period, Hailey Salvian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington appeared to hit his head on the boards as he fell after getting tangled with Ryan Hartman. The severity of Kylington's injury is unknown, so he'll be considered day-to-day until he's fully evaluated. The Flames' next game is Tuesday in a rematch with the Wild. If Kylington can't play, Michael Stone would likely draw into the lineup.

Kylington posted an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Kylington is on a hot run again with points in five straight games. He has two goals and three helpers, as well as a plus-9 rating, in that span. The 24-year-old is up to 24 points, 89 shots on net, a plus-25 rating and 44 blocked shots in 44 contests overall. As long as he keeps logging top-four minutes, he'll be in a position to produce offense as the Flames have regularly gotten their defensemen involved in recent games.
