Aliu was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Aliu returned from a lower body injury Thursday and logged 4:34 against the Avalanche, but it seems the Flames decided it's best he gain experience in the AHL for the time being. The newly-acquired Brian McGrattan was recalled to take Aliu's spot on the roster.
