The Calgary Flames will be without Travis Hamonic for a while.
The defenseman suffered a facial fracture during a fight with Erik Gudbranson in Calgary's season opener on Wednesday and now has a week-to-week status, the club announced Friday.
Defenseman Rasmus Andersson has been called up from the AHL in a corresponding move.
The fight against Gudbranson occurred only 4:22 into the first period. Hamonic later returned to action, receiving 14:35 of ice time.
The 28-year-old is a big part of the Flames' defense. He played 74 games last year in his first season with Calgary, averaging 20-plus minutes of ice time per game.
Andersson was the Flames' second-round pick in 2015. He played 10 games for Calgary in 2017-18.
