The Flames may have to go without a forward as they continue their road trip Thursday night.
Calgary’s Anthony Mantha is “still being evaluated” for his lower-body injury as the team gets set to take on the Boston Bruins, head coach Ryan Huska told reporters after Thursday’s practice.
Mantha exited Tuesday’s 3-2 OT win over the Montreal Canadiens with a lower-body injury after taking a hit behind the Montreal net in the first period. He stayed down shortly after the hit and was slow to skate to the bench right before the first intermission.

The 30-year-old had played just over five minutes in the game, recording one shot on goal.
Mantha signed with the Flames as a free agent this off-season and has scored four goals and seven points in 12 games with his new club.
The Flames face off against the Bruins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. You can catch the action on Sportsnet or stream on Sportsnet+.
