Calgary Flames prospect Jeremie Poirier, a defenseman with the AHL's Wranglers, faces an indefinite absence after sustaining a serious arm laceration during a game in Abbotsford. The injury necessitates surgical intervention, putting Poirier's return on hold.
Poirier, the Flames' third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft (72nd overall), had been making a significant impact in the AHL, ranking second among defensemen in points.
