Flames' Jon Gillies: Sent down to minors

Gillies will rejoin AHL Stockton on Thursday to aid in its pursuit of the Calder Cup.

Analysis:

Gillies will get to continue competing in postseason play, albeit not with the Flames after they were swept in their opening-round matchup. The 23-year-old posted an 18-14-4 record with the Heat this season along with a .910 save percentage and 2.93 GAA, but he may still find himself backing up David Rittich, whose numbers have been better: a 2.27 GAA and .924 save percentage.
