The Calgary Flames are collecting goalies. They added another today, claiming veteran Joey MacDonald off waivers from Detroit.​
According to TSN’s Bob MacKenzie, the Flames plan for MacDonald to back up Miikka Kiprusoff, who was skating today and could return from an injury Wednesday.​
That would mean a completely different tandem than the one Calgary had Saturday against Vancouver when Leland Irving started and the recently signedDanny Taylor was on the bench.​
And yes, the move has led to speculation a deal could be in the works.​
For MacDonald, the Flames will be his fifth NHL team. The 33-year-old was just cleared from a bulging disc in his back.​
MacDonald went 8-5-1 with a .912 save percentage last season with the Wings.​
I always liked Joey. Good luck to him.
