After stopping 35 shots in the Flames' 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks, Calgary goaltender Joey MacDonald remained in Chicago overnight in Chicago because he was feeling ill.

MacDonald battled the flu during the Flames' road trip. The Flames had a nightmarish 2013 and their season is over. MacDonald, however, may be a keeper for Fantasy owners. Scouts suggest he has plenty of upside.

It's hard to be taken seriously when your team's goaltender is MacDonald, but tonight was not a terrible outing. Look for MacDonald to serve as Calgary's backup next season or split the goaltending duties with one of the Flames' young netminders.

Joey MacDonald blocked 34 of 35 shots Sunday as the Flames surprised Minnesota with a 4-1 win.

Fresh off signing a new contract with the Flames, MacDonald was the star of the show on this night. Despite the strong outing he's not worth adding in fantasy leagues.

Joey MacDonald has inked a one-year, one-way contract with the Calgary Flames.

MacDonald will reportedly earn $925,000 in 2013-14. MacDonald provides the Flames with some insurance in case Miikka Kiprusoff decides to retire. If Kiprusoff does retire, then MacDonald will likely split the goaltending duties pretty evenly with one of Calgary's young netminders.

George Johnson of the Calgary Herald thinks that the Flames should re-sign goaltender Joey MacDonald.

MacDonald has been terrific since he was picked up off the waiver wire by the Flames on Feb. 11. He has played extremely well in place of Miikka Kiprusoff who is having a horrible season as MacDonald is 7-7-1 with a 2.91 GAA and a .900 save percentage, much better than Kipper's 6-13-1 record with a 3.61 GAA and a .872 save percentage. With Kiprusoff leaning towards retirement at the end of the season, MacDonald will give the Flames a veteran in net for the young and raw Flames in 2013-14.

Joey MacDonald will be back between the pipes for Calgary Saturday night versus Edmonton.

He made 29 stops in the Flames' 3-2 overtime win over Phoenix on Friday. He earned praise from coach Bob Hartley after the match and will start again over Miikka Kiprusoff, who is likely to retire after this season.
Apr 13 - 2:26 PM

Flames backup goaltender Joey MacDonald stopped 29 shots to garner his sixth victory of the season Friday night, tying veteran Calgary goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff in that category.

"He’s a favorite in the locker room and a great team player, so I’m pushing for him a lot. I like to have him on my team," Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. MacDonald, who allowed two goals in the Flames' 3-2 overtime win over Phoenix Friday night, will be an unrestricted free agent after this season but his play of late likely will earn him a decent contract offer from the Flames.
