Flames' Hudler game-time decision due to illness

Calgary Flames forward Jiri Hudler left Monday's practice prematurely and his status for Tuesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres won't be known until close to puck drop.

Hudler was seen driving away from the practice facility during the session by Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun.

After practice, head coach Bob Hartley said Hudler will be a game-time decision due to illness.

Hudler has 39 points in 45 games.
