Calgary Flames

Injured winger Jaromir Jagr skated again Tuesday, but will not be returning Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins, head coach Glen Gulutzan said Wednesday.

"It’s better than before, for sure. It’s getting better and better, so see what happens tomorrow," Jagr told the Calgary Sun on Tuesday. "I just want to come back and be ready and help the team. I don’t want to just be there.

"I just want to be help."

Waivers

Calgary Flames forward Freddie Hamilton and David Booth of the Detroit Red Wings were both placed on waivers Wednesday. 

Hamilton, the older brother of Flames defenceman Dougie Hamilton, owns one assist in two games with the Flames this season. He last played on Oct. 21 and his departure from the 23-man roster could signal the return of Jaromir Jagr off injured reserve.

Booth, 32, signed with the Red Wings after spending training camp on a professional tryout. He owns no points in four games with the team this season. 

Oilers defenceman Ryan Stanton cleared waivers on Wednesday and will be assigned to the club's AHL affiliate. 

Chicago Blackhawks

Cody Franson has played in just three games with the Blackhawks this season, but his ice time could see his ice time rise significantly on Wednesday after he was paired with Duncan Keith during Tuesday's practice. Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville is shuffling his pairings after an injury to Gustav Forling, left Saturday's game against the Colorado Avalanche.

Franson spent practice on the top pairing with Keith, while Brent Seabrook skated with Jan Rutta. Michal Kempny and Connor Murphy formed the third pairing

“I didn’t necessarily see that coming, but I’m really excited about it,” Franson told the Chicago Tribune of playing alongside Keith. “Anytime you get a chance to play with a player of his caliber, it makes your game go up and you have to rise to the expectation and take advantage of this.”

Winnipeg Jets

Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck will get the start between the pipes Thursday against the Dallas Stars. Forward Mathieu Perreault, who has been out since mid-October with a lower-body injury, skated on his own for the first time this season. Forward Adam Lowry (out since Oct. 13) took part in full contact practice and could be ready to go Saturday against the Habs. - Brian Munz, TSN
