| Date | News | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Dec. 2, 2024 | Kirkland (lower body) was put on injured reserve Monday. - In corresponding moves, the Flames recalled Jakob Pelletier and Walker Duehr from AHL Calgary while assigning Adam Klapka to the minors. Kirkland sat out Saturday's 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh and won't be eligible to return until at least Dec. 8 against Dallas. However, the exact timeline for his return is unclear. He has two goals, six assists, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 45 hits across 21 outings this season. | None |
| Nov. 30, 2024 | Kirkland (lower body) won't play Saturday in Pittsburgh, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports. - Kirkland was injured early in the first period after playing just two shifts, and did not return. He has been a good fourth-line winger, as he has two goals, six assists, 45 hits and 16 blocked shots in 21 contests. Adam Klapka will replace Kirkland in the lineup Saturday. | None |
| Nov. 29, 2024 | Kirkland suffered a lower-body injury during Friday's tilt against Columbus and won't return to the game, per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun. - Kirkland had two goals, eight points and 44 hits in 20 appearances going into Friday's action. If he can't play Saturday in Pittsburgh, then Adam Klapka will likely draw into the lineup. | None |
| Nov. 24, 2024 | Kirkland provided an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild. - Kirkland also had one of the Flames' two shootout tallies. The 28-year-old fourth-liner has three points over his last eight appearances while holding down a steady spot in the lineup. He's at two goals, eight assists, nine shots on net, 41 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 18 outings overall. Kirkland has limited fantasy value outside of deep banger leagues, but he's played well enough to be a key part of the Flames' on-ice success. | None |
| Nov. 12, 2024 | Kirkland scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks. - Kirkland opened the scoring late in the first period, but that was all the Flames could put past Kevin Lankinen. The 28-year-old Kirkland has two points, three shots on net, 14 hits and nine PIM through five outings in November. He's at seven points, six shots on net, 38 hits, 13 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 14 contests this season, playing primarily in a fourth-line role. | None |
| Nov. 8, 2024 | Kirkland logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins. - Kirkland may get more steady playing time while Anthony Mantha (lower body) is on injured reserve. The 28-year-old Kirkland was scratched twice to start November, but it looks like he's got some job security, as he would require waivers to be reassigned to AHL Calgary. He's produced six points, four shots on net, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 11 outings this season. | None |
| Oct. 30, 2024 | Kirkland produced an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Utah. - Kirkland has three helpers over his last five games. The 28-year-old centered the fourth line Wednesday after a brief foray into the middle six last week. He's now at five points, three shots on net, 24 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over nine contests this season. | None |
| Oct. 22, 2024 | Kirkland logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins. - Kirkland's helper set up the opening tally by Rasmus Andersson. In the shootout, Kirkland scored the decisive goal in the sixth round. The 28-year-old saw a season-high 14:28 of ice time and has earned three points, two shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through five appearances. While he's not a must-have fantasy player, Kirkland is doing a lot to keep his place in the lineup even once Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) and Yegor Sharangovich (lower body) are ready to return. | None |
| Oct. 15, 2024 | Kirkland produced an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. - Kirkland has two points, eight hits, three blocks and a plus-3 rating over his three NHL appearances this season. The 28-year-old is strengthening his grip on the fourth-line center spot that was occupied by Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) prior to his injury in the season opener. Kirkland's role is still too limited to be useful in fantasy, but he's been a positive story on the ice after an arduous journey to competing for a full-time NHL job. | None |
| Oct. 13, 2024 | Kirkland scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers. - The 28-year-old forward has taken a long path to the NHL, entering this season with just nine games of prior experience. Kirkland finally signed his name on a scoresheet with a third-period tally Sunday, earning the first goal and point of his career. He didn't make the Flames' Opening Night roster but joined the team after Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) landed on injured reserve. Kirkland will likely be limited to a fourth-line role as long as he's in the NHL, with his biggest contribution coming in hits -- he has seven through two appearances. | None |
| Oct. 11, 2024 | Kirkland was recalled from AHL Calgary on Friday. - Kirkland saw action in just two NHL games with Arizona last year, recording one shot and five hits while averaging 7:14 of ice time. The move comes as Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve. With Matthew Coronato likely ahead of Kirkland on the organizational depth chart, Kirkland figures to remain a healthy scratch versus the Flyers on Saturday. | None |
| Sept. 29, 2024 | Kirkland was placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Kirkland contributed eight goals and 30 points in 43 regular-season outings with AHL Tucson in 2023-24. He is poised to start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Calgary. | None |
| July 3, 2024 | Kirkland signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Wednesday. - Kirkland had eight goals and 30 points in 43 regular-season contests with AHL Tucson in 2023-24. He also appeared in two outings with Arizona, recording no points, one shot, five hits and one block over that stretch. Kirkland is likely to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors. | None |
| Feb. 4, 2024 | Kirkland was recalled from AHL Tucson on Sunday. - Kirkland has been held without a point through nine career NHL games, including two this season. He has 17 points in 21 AHL contests. | None |
| Jan. 27, 2024 | Kirkland was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday. - Kirkland was once again a healthy scratch Saturday versus the Hurricanes. The 27-year-old may not be shuttled between the NHL and AHL if Adam Ruzicka, who was claimed on waivers from Calgary earlier in the week, can get his immigration paperwork settled prior to the Coyotes' next game Feb. 8 versus the Golden Knights. | None |
| Jan. 26, 2024 | Kirkland was called up from AHL Tucson on Friday. - Kirkland was summoned from Tucson on Sunday and sent to the minors Thursday, so he's been frequently shifting between the two levels. He has no points, one shot, five hits and a block in two contests with Arizona this season. He also has supplied two goals and 16 points in 18 appearances with Tucson. | None |
| Jan. 25, 2024 | Kirkland was sent to AHL Tucson on Thursday. - Kirkland has no points, one shot, five hits and a block in two games with Arizona this season.

| Jan. 21, 2024 | Kirkland was promoted from AHL Tucson on Sunday. - Kirkland is scoreless through nine career NHL appearances, including two this season. He has two goals and 16 points in 18 AHL games. The 27-year-old could dress in a bottom-six role Monday against the Penguins. | None |
| Jan. 10, 2024 | Kirkland was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Kirkland had five hits, one shot on goal and one blocked shot over two contests while filling in for Jason Zucker (suspension). With Zucker set to return Thursday and Dylan Guenther making a strong impression, it's Kirkland who loses his roster spot for now. | None |
| Jan. 6, 2024 | Kirkland was recalled from AHL Tucson on Saturday. - Kirkland played seven games with the Ducks last season, but he was unable to hit the scoresheet. This is the second time this week that Kirkland has been recalled from the minors. Kirkland was a healthy scratch in his only two games at the NHL level in 2023-24. He has a goal and 12 assists with Tucson this season. | None |
| Jan. 5, 2024 | Kirkland will be recalled from AHL Tucson on Friday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports. - Kirkland will link up with Arizona due to the continued absence of Jason Zucker (suspension). For their last game, the Yotes opt to go with seven defensemen, so Kirkland is far from a lock to play even while up with the big club. Still, the 27-year-old center has put his offensive upside in the minors, racking up 13 points in 12 games for the Roadrunners. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2023 | Kirkland was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday. - Kirkland was summoned by Arizona on Friday but was a healthy scratch in Saturday's game versus the Avalanche. He has a goal and 10 points in nine AHL appearances this year. | None |

It was the first time in the NHL for the 26-year-old who also spent time at AHL San Diego where he managed nine goals and 18 points in 32 games. | None |
| Jan. 10, 2023 | Kirkland (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site. - Kirkland was involved in a car accident Sunday and was released from the hospital Tuesday.
