Flames call up McGrattan

The Calgary Flames have recalled forward Brian McGrattan from their AHL affiliate in Abbotsford and reassigned forward Akim Aliu to the AHL team.

The Flames acquired McGrattan in a trade with the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

McGrattan's promotion may be a response to what happened to Calgary goalie Joey MacDonald last week.

MacDonald was run over by the Kings' Trevor Lewis, and there was no response by the Flames' players.
