Lee Stempniak scored a goal and an assist for the Flames in a 4-2 defeat of Vancouver Sunday.

Stempniak is enjoying a small-scale renaissance to his career with 15 points in 20 games this season. It's hard to be optimistic about his chances of continuing this pace, but he's definitely rewarding those who drafted him, surely in deep leagues. Michael Cammalleri scored two goals in the victory while Jarome Iginla potted a goal of his own in the winning effort.

Lee Stempniak scored his fifth goal of the season, but it was the only score the Flames could muster in their 5-1 loss to Vancouver.

Stempniak is one of the few bright fantasy options on the Flames with seven points in nine games and a plus-two rating.

Calgary winger Lee Stempniak thinks the lockout may have helped his play this season.

Stempniak was in Boston during the almost four month long lockout and practised with some NHLers during that time. "During the lockout, it was Ryan Whitney, Keith Yandle, Shawn Thornton, Brad Marchand, Tuukka Rask, Jay Pandolfo, Greg Campbell, Dan Paille and myself," Stempniak said. "With the lack of numbers, we had to do a lot more one-on-one, two-on-two kind of stuff then full-ice stuff. But I think it might have helped us out going into the season." Stempniak had three points Saturday and now has five points in four games.

Lee Stempniak scored the lone Calgary goal in a 4-1 loss to the Sharks Sunday night.

Stempniak's marker came towards the end of a first period power play and was assisted by Mikael Backlund and Jay Bouwmeester. The Flames top scoring trio was held at bay the entire night by the San Jose defense.

Lee Stempniak has signed a two-year/$5 million contract extension with the Calgary Flames.

Stempniak is coming off a two-year/$3.8 million deal, so this represents a decent raise for him. He had 14 goals and 28 points in 61 games last season.

Lee Stempniak is eligible for unrestricted free agency next month.

He recorded 14 goals and 28 points in 61 games with the Flames in 2011-12. Stempniak has been known as a streaky player during his career, but he shouldn't be counted on to have much fantasy value next year whether he is back with Calgary or not.

Lee Stempniak scored once in the Flames' 3-2 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild Thursday night.

It was the Flames first power play goal in seven games (16 attempts) and Stempniak's 13th marker of the season. The veteran forward has 25 points in 54 games this season.

His team is sitting in 11th spot in the NHL’s Western Conferencem with nine games remaining in the regular season, but veteran forward Lee Stempniak still likes the Calgary Flames' chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

"Every time we’ve been written off, we’ve found a way to claw back into it and defy the odds," Stempniak said. "We have a lot of guys who believe we’re going to make it. There wasn’t a huge sense of panic after Sunday’s game (a 2-1 shootout loss to the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets). We got a point. We know we can do better, and we can do that in Colorado (tonight)."

Lee Stempniak returned to action Sunday after missing 21 games with an ankle injury.

Stempniak started on a line with David Moss and Blake Comeau. The Flames need big production in their final nine games from their secondary scorers like Stempniak if they want to have a chance to make the post-season. "It’s tough being out," Stempniak said. "Obviously, everyone wants play and help the team. The hardest part is mentally knowing you can’t be out there and being patient to make sure you can be back on time. Emotionally, you’re really excited to be back. The games are that important, and the standings are changing by the hour, so you want to be in there and make a difference." He has 12 goals and 24 points in 52 games but could be of use in deep pools as he is a streaky scorer.

Lee Stempniak (ankle) is hoping to return to action Sunday against the Blue Jackets.

His ankle is feeling better and he is anxious to get the green light to suit up in Columbus. "Every day, it’s feeling better and better. It’s up to the coaches and the medical staff to make sure everything is all right," Sempniak said. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Lee Stempniak (knee) skated again on Thursday.

Stempniak has been out of the lineup since Feb. 1 and is very close to returning. The unfortunate news is that with his return, the Flames will be forced to return Sven Baertschi back to Portland of the WHL as he is up on an emergency basis. Stempniak had 12 goals and 24 points in 51 games before the injury. Get ready to activate him if you normally would.

Lee Stempniak (high ankle sprain) is still day-to-day.

Stempniak was originally expected to return in early March, but obviously that didn't happen. He probably won't play on Thursday, but the silver lining is that he was on the ice Wednesday.
