Status report
The Flames held an optional morning skate Thursday. ... Hunt, a forward, was recalled from Calgary of the American Hockey League and Mantha, a forward, was placed on injured reserve. ... Peeke is week to week after the defenseman took a hit from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Pacioretty during the first period of a 4-0 loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. ... Geekie is expected to be scratched for the second straight game; the forward did not participate in line rushes during the Bruins morning skate Thursday and was the only player who stayed on the ice for extra work afterward.
