Zach Whitecloud - NHL News & Rumors

Supplies pair of assists Whitecloud notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Whitecloud ended the campaign with four helpers over his last six games. The 29-year-old defenseman had a total of 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) while adding 67 shots on net, 124 hits, 140 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 78 appearances between Calgary and Vegas. Whitecloud typically won't put up a lot of offense, but the Flames' rebuild has afforded more playing time than he's seen at any other time in his career.

Playing in finale Whitecloud (upper body) will suit up in the season finale against the Kings on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Despite taking a puck to the face Tuesday, Whitecloud looks set to play while sporting a full cage versus LA. Combined with his stint in Vegas, the 29-year-old Manitoba native has logged 77 games this year, notching two goals and 13 helpers. While Whitecloud does offer some category coverage, his offensive contributions are limited, making him a low-end fantasy option in most formats.

Exits early Tuesday Whitecloud (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Whitecloud took a puck up high in the second period and couldn't finish the contest. He'll be questionable to play in the Flames' regular-season finale versus the Kings on Thursday. The team is also missing Kevin Bahl (lower body) and Jake Bean (undisclosed) on the blue line, so a roster move might be in order if none of the injured defensemen can return.

Plucks first apple since return Whitecloud notched an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Impact Whitecloud earned his first point in five outings since he returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points, 58 shots on net, 108 hits, 105 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 66 appearances between Calgary and Vegas this season. Whitecloud is currently in a top-four role with the Flames, though he functions as a shutdown defenseman rather than a scorer.

Good to go Whitecloud (upper body) will return to the lineup against the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact Following a three-game absence, Whitecloud is poised to occupy a top-four role and should see time on the penalty kill. He has earned four assists, 17 shots on goal, 28 blocked shots and 25 hits in 14 games with Calgary since being acquired from Vegas on Jan. 18.

Not traveling with team Whitecloud (upper body) didn't travel with the Flames for their five-game road trip, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports Monday.

Impact While the team hopes Whitecloud will be able to join them at some point during the trip, his absence figures to keep him out for at least the back-to-back versus the Capitals and Rangers on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. With Whitecloud unavailable, Joel Hanley will return to the lineup after missing Saturday's clash with Carolina due to an illness.

Hurt in Saturday's game Whitecloud (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes.

Impact Whitecloud took an awkward fall late in the first period and was unable to return. The 29-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. The Flames begin a five-game road trip Monday versus the Capitals, so Whitecloud's status should be updated prior to the team heading on the road.

Bags two apples Whitecloud logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Whitecloud has earned three helpers over seven outings with the Flames. He's immediately stepped into a top-four role, though the increase in ice time hasn't made much of a difference for his offense. For the season, the 29-year-old blueliner is at 10 points, 46 shots on net, 86 hits, 76 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances between Calgary and Vegas.

Earns first assist with new team Whitecloud logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Whitecloud has essentially replaced the man he was traded for, Rasmus Andersson, in the Flames' lineup. Through two games with the Flames, Whitecloud is averaging 23:04 of ice time, 4:08 higher than he was seeing with the Golden Knights. He's at eight points, 37 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 74 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 49 appearances this season. Whitecloud has minimal offensive upside, but his production could take a step up if his ice time remains higher with his new team.

Impact Whitecloud had been with the Golden Knights since signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2018, but he'll be on the move ahead of the Olympic break in early February. The 29-year-old has recorded two goals, five assists, 73 hits, 63 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 18:46 of ice time over 47 appearances with Vegas this year, and he should have an opportunity to carve out a prominent role with the Flames over the second half of the season.

Lights lamp in blowout win Whitecloud scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Whitecloud snapped his 10-game point drought with his goal at 12:25 of the second period. The 29-year-old continues to work in a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman, so offense is likely to be limited despite a healthy share of playing time. He's at two goals, six points, 31 shots on net, 20 PIM, 71 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 44 appearances.

Opens scoring in win Whitecloud scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact Whitecloud had gone eight games without a point. The defenseman has struggled to get involved on offense this year, picking up four points through 30 outings in a bottom-four role. He's added 21 shots on net, 51 hits, 34 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating, but he won't be much of a factor in fantasy without more offense.
