Hamonic won't return to Friday's game versus the Capitals due to an upper-body injury, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic left the game three separate times but won't be able to overcome the final departure. He'll have a day off to recover before Sunday's game versus the Hurricanes. Expect Dalton Prout to enter the fold if Hamonic can't go.

Hamonic (personal) will play in Friday's game versus the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic missed the last two games tending to a family illness, but he'll return to the top four on the blue line in this outing. He's not a top scorer by any means with just 12 points in 28 games, but he shoots and blocks enough shots to add some fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Hamonic (personal) is officially considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with Detroit, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

All signs point to Hamonic returning to action following a two-game absence, but it appears as though the Flames will wait until they take the ice for pregame warmups to make that official. Assuming he plays, the 28-year-old blueliner will skate with Noah Hanifin on Calgary's second pairing against the Red Wings.

Hamonic (personal) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against Detroit, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic has missed the Flames' last two games due to a family illness, but his presence at Friday's morning skate indicates he should be good to go for the evening's contest. The 28-year-old blueliner is expected to skate with Noah Hanifin on Calgary's second pairing against the Red Wings.

Hamonic (family illness) missed practice again Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic is unofficially questionable for Friday's home game against the Red Wings as he tends to the personal matter.

Hamonic (family illness) will miss Wednesday's game against the Sabres, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic was a late scratch from Sunday's game against the Coyotes and now he'll miss his ninth contest as part of the 2018-19 campaign. In general, the defenseman has been a sneaky good fantasy option based on his running total of three goals and nine assists to complement a plus-7 rating over 38 games.

Hamonic (personal) is out Sunday night versus Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames' blueliner will be absent from Sunday night's game against the Coyotes due to a family illness. Dalton Prout will dress in Hamonic's place.

Hamonic was on the ice for 23:28 -- including 7:13 shorthanded -- versus Edmonton on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was the 13th time this season Hamonic has logged over 20 minutes of ice time. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the blueliner isn't getting a look with the man advantage, which limits his fantasy value. In 23 games, the Manitoba native recorded eight points, 48 shots and 39 blocks and should be capable of challenging the 20-point mark for the fifth time in his career.

Hamonic fired three pucks on net, threw four hits and blocked five shots while logging 18:54 of ice time in Thursday's 9-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic had missed the Flames' previous eight contests due to a facial injury, so it was good to see him willing to throw his weight around and get in front of pucks during his return to action. The 28-year-old blueliner will hope to tally his first point of the season in Saturday's matchup with Washington.

Hamonic (face) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's home game against the Penguins, Kristen Anderson of The Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic's activation renders winger Anthony Peluso the odd-man out, so he'll reportedly head to AHL Stockton. As for the veteran defenseman, he's suddenly an intriguing fantasy option, particularly in DFS tournament formats, where there's bound to be a shortage of people aware that the two-way skater is back in action. Hamonic produced 11 points (one goal, 10 assists) over 74 games in his debut season with the Flames in 2017-18, which is by no means an earth-shattering total, but he did collect 83 hits and 124 blocked shots that season to provide sneaky value in leagues that give bonuses for defensive contributions.
