The Flames <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohockeyrumors.com\/2026\/01\/flames-make-several-roster-moves.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sent<\/a> Parekh to their AHL affiliate two weeks ago on a conditioning loan and were required to decide his immediate future, given that a conditioning loan may last only 14 days.<\/p>\n<p>Parekh, 19, hasn\u2019t played in a game for the Flames since November 11th. The former ninth overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft was loaned to Team Canada for the U20 IIHF World Junior Championships in December. During the tournament, he scored five goals and 13 points in seven games, contributing to the team\u2019s bronze medal finish.<\/p>\n<p>Although Calgary would have liked to have Parekh see more NHL action before his debut in the World Junior Championship, he lost nearly a month due to an upper-body injury. The Flames sent him on a conditioning loan to the Wranglers almost immediately upon his return.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, he performed well throughout his first bout of AHL action. Parekh appeared in four games for the Wranglers, scoring two goals and five points with a +1 rating. Earlier this season, he tallied one assist in 11 games for the Flames, averaging 14:46 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Parekh didn\u2019t draw into today\u2019s game against the San Jose Sharks. Calgary acquired defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/whiteza01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-31_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zach Whitecloud<\/a> in the recent trade that sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/a\/anderra01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-31_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rasmus Andersson<\/a> to the Vegas Golden Knights, so he doesn\u2019t have a clear path to playing time.
