Samuel Honzek - NHL News & Rumors

Surfaces on IR Honzek (lower body) has been moved to injured reserve, Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM reports Monday.

Impact The Flames announced last Monday that Honzek is considered week-to-week due to his lower body injury. The 21-year-old forward has missed four consecutive games, and it's currently unclear how he is progressing in his recovery. Honzek's placement on IR opened up a roster spot for the Flames, so the team might elevate a forward from the minors in the near future.

Deemed week-to-week The Flames announced Monday that Honzek is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Honzek missed Saturday's game against the Ducks due to a previously unspecified injury, but it's now been revealed that he's dealing with a lower-body issue. After being further evaluated, the 21-year-old appears to be facing a multi-game absence. Maxim Tsyplakov will likely continue to see an uptick in playing time while Honzek is sidelined.

Shelved for Saturday's game Honzek (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's clash against the Ducks, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.

Impact Honzek has missed Calgary's last two practices and will be unavailable for the first time this season. The 21-year-old winger has yet to find the scoresheet in 2026-27, where he has a minus-4 rating, three shots on net, 10 hits and two blocked shots across four appearances. In his absence, Maxim Tsyplakov will likely be worked into the Flames' lineup. Honzek's status will be monitored closely until further information on his status is provided ahead of Tuesday's game in Anaheim.

Ready for upcoming season Honzek (upper body) is healthy ahead of training camp, Chris Wahl of the Flames' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Honzek spent half of his offseason in Calgary as he finished up his recovery. He's not guaranteed a roster spot, but the 21-year-old winger was establishing himself as a regular last season before the injury cut his campaign short in November. Honzek is likely to begin the campaign in a bottom-six role, but a strong showing could help him quickly move up in the lineup.

Done for season Honzek (upper body) will not return this season, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan on Friday.

Impact Honzek practiced for the first time Friday since he was injured versus Winnipeg on Nov. 15, a span of 52 games. The 21-year-old ends the season with two goals, four points and 35 hits over 18 games with the Flames. He is expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp in September.

Practicing Friday Honzek (upper body) practiced for the first time Friday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Honzek's return to practice doesn't mean he will immediately jump back into the lineup against the Canucks on Saturday but it is certainly a step in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, the 21-year-old winger was offering decent production with two goals, two assists and 22 shots in 18 outings. Whenever the Slovak does get back into the lineup, he should be in the mix for a middle-six role with the club.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes surgery Honzek (upper body) underwent surgery Thursday that is expected to sideline him for up to six months, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Honzek sustained an upper-body injury last weekend and landed on injured reserve. He was initially considered week-to-week, but he could be forced to miss the remainder of the regular season following his procedure. The 21-year-old made 18 appearances prior to sustaining his injury, recording two goals, two assists, 35 hits, six blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 12:21 of ice time.

Impact Honzek suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's game against Winnipeg, and the Flames announced a day later that he's considered week-to-week. His placement on injured reserve means that he'll miss at least one week, which isn't surprising given Sunday's update. Yegor Sharangovich will likely have an opportunity to see increased playing time while Honzek is unavailable.

Status now week-to-week Honzek (upper body) is now week-to-week, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Sunday.

Impact Honzek collided with Mikael Backlund and left the game early Saturday and didn't return. The 21-year-old has put up four points (two goals, two assists) in 18 games in his first season as a full-time NHL player while averaging 12:21 of ice time. With Honzek out, expect Yegor Sharangovich, scratched the last couple of games, to draw back into the lineup.

Deposits empty-netter Honzek scored an empty-net goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.

For the season, Honzek is at four points, 22 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-1 rating across 17 outings.

Earns first NHL point Honzek logged an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Honzek got a look alongside Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman in this contest amid a line shuffle for the Flames. The 20-year-old Honzek helped out on Backlund's second-period tally, giving the young winger his first NHL point in 12 appearances. He's logged seven of those games this year, racking up 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating. He's a big winger with a good shot, but he's still adjusting to the NHL level, so don't expect big scoring numbers just yet.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Adjusting to AHL play Honzek has 18 points over 36 games with AHL Calgary this season.

Impact Honzek received five games of NHL action early in the season, though an injury and a lack of scoring production made it a quick return for him to a lower level. After producing 87 points over 76 appearances with WHL Vancouver across the previous two seasons, Honzek has needed an adjustment in the professional ranks. The winger is just 20 years old, so he's got plenty of time to round out his game before being a more regular NHL option.

Assigned to AHL Honzek was assigned to AHL Calgary on Thursday.

Impact Honzek was activated from injured reserve Wednesday after missing a week and a half due to an upper-body injury. He played in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Utah and tallied two hits, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in 10:52 of ice time. He'll head to the AHL to make room on the NHL roster for Matt Coronato, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

However, he fully participated in Friday's practice session and will be available for Wednesday's game in Utah. Over his first four appearances of the season, the 19-year-old tallied six shots on goal, four hits and a blocked shot while averaging 12:47 of ice time.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve The Flames placed Honzek on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The Flames stated Thursday that Honzek was week-to-week, so this is no surprise. Honzek was selected 16th overall in the 2023 Draft and cracked the Flames lineup Opening Night, starting out on the top line with Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko. He failed to pick up a point in four games and will likely be returned to WHL Vancouver when he is healthy enough to play as Honzek needs plenty of ice time at the tender age of 19.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Week-to-week Honzek is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, the Flames announced Thursday.

Impact Honzek, who was selected 16th overall in the 2023 Draft, has been without a point in his first four NHL games of his career. He had been seeing top line action, alongside Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko, as well as second power-play time. Should this injury linger, don't be surprised if the Flames return Honzek to WHL Vancouver to get plenty of playing time the rest of the season.
