Pospisil has been on the Flames\u2019 injured reserve for the entire 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>There haven\u2019t been many reports specifying Pospisil\u2019s injury. Still, it\u2019s known that he has been dealing with an undisclosed upper-body injury dating back to the preseason, and he has been ramping up skating over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Once he returns, he should provide additional scoring to Calgary\u2019s bottom-six, and could even find his way into the middle-six if the Flames trade from their forward core leading up to the trade deadline. Throughout the past two years, Pospisil has scored 12 goals and 49 points in 144 games, averaging 13:20 of ice time per night.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of being a playmaker, Pospisil is one of the most physical forwards in Calgary\u2019s arsenal. He\u2019s led the team in hits over his past two years, averaging 3.74 hits per game. Additionally, he\u2019s been a solid analytical player for the Flames, averaging a 54.4% CorsiFor% and 92.1% on-ice save percentage at even strength.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, another team stands to benefit from Pospisil\u2019s expected return. Pospisil was named to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohockeyrumors.com\/2026\/01\/team-slovakia-announces-2026-olympic-roster.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Team Slovakia<\/a> for the 2026 Winter Olympics, being one of their best international players over the past few years. In the summer of 2024, Pospisil scored three goals and seven points in seven games with a +5 rating during the IIHF World Championships. Additionally, he helped the team reach the Olympic Games this year, registering three assists in three games during last year\u2019s Olympic Games qualifiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a team announcement, the Calgary Flames have moved forward Martin Pospisil to the long-term injury list,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":405710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[895,26,5294,896,5,402,5843,4,4094,405],"class_list":{"0":"post-405709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-calgary-flames","8":"tag-calgary","9":"tag-calgary-flames","10":"tag-calgaryflames","11":"tag-flames","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-injury","14":"tag-martin-pospisil","15":"tag-nhl","16":"tag-team-slovakia","17":"tag-transactions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/405710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=405709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=405709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
