Ramo (illness) rejoined the Flames for their optional skate Friday, NHL.com's Aaron Vickers reports.

Analysis:

With the Flames choosing not to recall an extra goalie from AHL Adirondback, it indicates Ramo is considered healthy and should be ready to back up Jonas Hiller for Friday's game against the Stars. Barring any unforeseen setback with his illness, look for Ramo to get the start for the second game of the Flames' back-to-back Saturday in Vancouver.
