Still not ready to return Honzek (upper body) will not play against Carolina on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Honzek was injured Oct. 15 against the Blackhawks and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. The 19-year-old rookie should be considered week-to-week at this time. Honzek has yet to hit the scoresheet in his four-game NHL career.

Placed on injured reserve The Flames placed Honzek on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The Flames stated Thursday that Honzek was week-to-week, so this is no surprise. Honzek was selected 16th overall in the 2023 Draft and cracked the Flames lineup Opening Night, starting out on the top line with Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko. He failed to pick up a point in four games and will likely be returned to WHL Vancouver when he is healthy enough to play as Honzek needs plenty of ice time at the tender age of 19.

Week-to-week Honzek is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, the Flames announced Thursday.

Impact Honzek, who was selected 16th overall in the 2023 Draft, has been without a point in his first four NHL games of his career. He had been seeing top line action, alongside Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko, as well as second power-play time. Should this injury linger, don't be surprised if the Flames return Honzek to WHL Vancouver to get plenty of playing time the rest of the season.
